Is subversions configured to use fencepost as a smarthost?  If not, I
don't see why it matters.

Same thought regarding gnuftp.  For GNU/Linux and other unix-like systems,
I'm not clear on why using smarthosts is worthwhile.  It just adds a
dependency, so that if one machine breaks it causes other machines to
break.

In any case, I don't have any objection to relaying for these hosts.
