The answer depends on what you mean by "standard distribution". It is
very doubtful that you'll be able to add the subversion support into
the code distributed by the Eclipse top-level project. That
distribution (traditionally known as the "Eclipse SDK") is controlled
by the Eclipse project and they only include what they build (much like
the EMF project only includes what they build in their distributions).
If you mean the new Eclipse packages that are featured on the downloads
page (Eclipse IDE for Java Developers, etc.), then probability is very
high that Subversive can be included in future releases (assuming that
*all* the code can be released under EPL). Unfortunately, it's not
(strictly speaking) up to us. The packaging project (EPP) ultimately
decides what goes into those packages (with input from the community).
Your best bet is to make your desire for inclusion of Subversive in
these packages on the packaging newsgroup.

There is another
question, which I want to clarify. For the Subversive project we
defined future
inclusion into Eclipse distribution as the main goal. Sure that at the
current
moment we can’t raise this topic simple because project even didn’t
start incubation and there are problems with client library licenses.
Anyway we
want to know PMC position regarding this topic – if the Subversive
project will graduate from incubation and have client library with EPL
license
then will it be included into standard distribution? What is your
vision
regarding the future of the Subversive project?
