Users who want Subversion 1.6 can still do so by following the how-to:

Good point.  No need for us to provide 1.6 then.

I'm not really concerned, but

     get the bug fixes (the 1.6 branch is still supported upstream,

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.
