Instead of just removing it, can you make it into its own page and give a link to it. The problem is that our documentation on how to install subversion is _better_ than the one at the subversion site (unless that has changed recently). Every time I go someplace that doesn't have subversion, I go to their site, try their instructions, have it _fail_, remember, oh, yes, that's right and then go back to your instructions on how to get subversion which works. I can see the point of simplifying, but if other people have as much trouble as I do installing subversion from sourcen on a site that doesn't have a package manager, they may need our instructions.
