And we haven't had any discussions about (or requests for) new subversion ports for older versions before (that I've seen).

my plan was to update the subversion port (and bindings ports) to 1.7 when it is released. If there is demand for a 1.6 port I will either create a subversion16 port, or someone else can do it.

My gut feeling is that we won't really have any requests for 1.6
