I think what's in SVN is ok:

1. The first paragraph of the README.txt says:

"The majority of content here in the OpenFabrics Subversion repository
has been moved to various git-based repositories.  See the OpenFabrics
web site (http://www.openfabrics.org/) for details on where the git
repositories are located and how they can be accessed."

2. The specific files in question were "svn rm"'ed so that they're  
not at the SVN HEAD anymore.  So even if you get into SVN, you won't  
find the files you're talking about without diving into the history.

I think that if someone ignores the README.txt and goes into the  
history to find old versions of those files, they deserve what they  
get.  :-)
