Yes, it's quite annoying and one would hope mailing them to achieve at least readonly access would be opened up. Why block disemmination and viewing of simple free knowledge? This may be inadvertant lack of in depth and open thought on things. This should hopefully get further thought going. They also need to make their builds deterministic and crypto traceable back to a crypto secure source repo which SVN is not afaict. But that's a whole other topic, and these days an important one to raise and ensure is addressed. After all, spies, moles, exploit[er]s, and bitrot are everywhere.
