The other thing I would fear is if there's a bug that somehow prevents people from committing, if the SVN team is using SVN, the bug may get in the way of it's own fix. Pretty unlikely, but still - if my software was the platform for it's own bug fixes, I'd be looking for some more diversity in my stack.

You're assuming that the svn running on the source control server is always the top of tree. I would assume that they use the latest stable release, not the latest checkin. And even if they did run into a problem like this, they could always downgrade the version of svn on the server, so long as it doesn't include a breaking repository format change.
