I suspect what was meant is that not everyone thinks obliterate needs to be "implemented yesterday" or that it's the "#1 request". I do think obliterate would be useful, but I personally have not ever needed it in my 2 or 3 years of administering an SVN repo, and don't forsee needing it in the future. Also, it's not like the SVN team has rejected the feature; the FAQ mentions that it's planned: http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#removal and there's even a roadmap for it: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf//subversion/trunk/notes/obliterate/plan-milestones.html
