There have been reports that the 1.2.0 is not that stable, so it makes 
sense to not provide it by default. I do this occasionally when default 
functionality has failed to work after the packages have been made 
available. (However I'm using subversion 1.2.0 without any problems 
myself since its release)

RPMforge will have a test repository and packages will not be released 
before they have been in the test repository for some time. (Although that 
does not prevent problems, it might reduce the number of occasions)
