We didn't get errors because subversion's build system didn't deem 
absence of pkgconfig (and thus, disabling of serf) an error. Also, I 
think we no longer have any recipes in oe-core that fetch from svn, so 
nothing is testing that subversion-native does in fact work.

How necessary is subversion nowadays for those company-internal repos?
