I don't understand that logic.

Currently:

svn | builds | can checkout and build
=====================================
no  | no     | no
no  | yes    | no
yes | no     | no
yes | yes    | yes

All in svn:

svn | builds | can checkout and build
=====================================
no  | no     | no
no  | yes    | no
yes | no     | yes
yes | yes    | yes


While I'm not advocating *either* approach, I do want to point out that your tables above are misleading because they don't take uptime percentages into account. If SVN and builds are up 99% of the time, for example, then buildability is 98.01% uptime in the first scenario, and 99% in the second.

Thus, an argument for going to SVN should probably not focus on reliability, but on such issues as speed, simplification, reduced server maintenance, etc.
