As you've already noted, this is specifically egit. However, a wider
discussion is available on bug 257706
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=257706). One of the things
I noted in my blog entry wrapping up EclipseCon was that one of the
inhibitors for the widespread adoption of SVN in Eclipse is due to the
fact the (xGPL) tools can't be distributed with Eclipse due to conflicting
with the EPL. So although the plugin might be under EPL, it has non-EPL
dependencies.
One of the strengths of EGit is that the library (JGit) is BSD which means
it can be redistributed from Eclipse.org. So whilst you're unlikely to see
an Eclipse release train with SVN or Hg support out-of-the-box, that might
not be the case for EGit.
In any case, the bug is the proper place to follow up on that aspect of
this discussion.

FYI: Now that svn moves to Apache I see a chance that svn migth become
part of the release train:
