It's not as if it's difficult to build fresh packages for whatever
distro you have, as long as prerequisites don't require you to rebuild
half of the distro.

And for everyone who would like an updated subversion, there's someone
else who would like an updated apache, or an updated openssh.  And I'd
bet that those who want one package to be updated would really not
want everything else to be updated as well.  After all, they're still
using RHEL Vancient for a reason.
