The idea behind making step 1 (everyone pulling the source) come
before step 2 (final verification that the source is sane), is to
make it easier for those who wish to comment on the sanity of the
source to do so.
It also will hopefully ease the transition for all involved, by
having everyone have all of the SVG files on their machine a week
before they're required for the default build. (Instead of having to
suddenly pull an additional 200 files next week just to get your
build up and running.)
Does that sound agreeable?

verifying that it's done right?

Greetings:
I have some good news: SVG is ready to be rolled into the main
WebKit development builds.
My proposal is to do so next week. This will affect all WebKit
developers, as you will soon be pulling extra source code from
CVS, and building a slighting larger set of sources (by default).
I'm writing this email to propose my plan of action, and solicit
feedback and answer any concerns you might have.
My plan of action, in brief:
1. This early next week I plan to move the ksvg2 and kcanvas
directories, as well as the SVGLayout tests out of SVGSupport and
into the main WebCore and LayoutTests modules (this mean's
everyone will check out more code).
2. Over the course of next week discuss with several other Safari
engineers the "tie-in" points which SVG has to the rest of WebKit,
and re-verify the sanity of said tie-ins. :)
3. Finally, by next weekend, "flip the switch" and make WebKit
+SVG the default build target for WebCore.
If you have any questions, comments, concerns, please drop me a line.
