Yes. There is a fundamental tension here.

Specifically, if we bundle the 1.6 libraries, they will *automatically*
upgrade the working tree formats of any subversion working tree they
encounter. Which would mean that installing bzr 2.0 even to just test it
out, would then require them to upgrade their existing subversion
installation. (tortoisesvn, rapidsvn, etc.)

I would like to upgrade the libs at some point, I'm just being
conservative because SVN has a policy of automatic upgrades of the
working tree, and I don't think everyone wants to use bzr as the primary
svn client.
