Ease of maintenance is a good thing for developer :)
But as common user I don't want to wait while emerge will compile
subversion and all of it's deps. And don't want to even know about
subversion. Also SVN repository could be unaccessible while SF.net
mirrors are managed in Portage system and will try to fetch from all
over the world. Also with tar.gz files it is more chances that synce
0.10.0 will make its way into Gentoo portage tree and distfiles mirrors.

To avoid this problem 'subversion' eclass provides variable
ESVN_PROJECT, that is defaults to ebuild name (usb-rndis-ng for example).
In ebuild you need to put:
ESV_PROJECT=${PF}
that will change project directory to full ebuild name
(usb-rndis-ng-0.10.0 for example) and the distfiles structure will be:
svn-src/usb-rndis-ng-0.10.0
svn-src/usb-rndis-ng-9999
So different versions will not overlap. But this could not save from
moving SVN repository inside one version.
May be I could join your team and help somehow?
