Good point on this.  The major reason for continue to provide upgrades 
to svn 1.6 releases are the merge tracking bug fixes, which can continue 
to come.  I always recommend to my clients that do significant amounts 
of svn merging to use the latest release just to pick up all merge 
tracking fixes.
