While I like subversion quite a bit to begin with, I'm honestly not sure
(even after my weekly perusal of issues) whether it's mature enough for
something of this scale.

Also, subversion doesn't have a cousin to cvsup (yes, I realize
subversion is much faster).

I do however believe that your proposal to put a svn tree online for
people to test-drive is a cool idea, who knows what we'll find. Shortly
ago there were still issues with the cvs2svn script though - have those
been resolved?
