Even now the kernel, platform & orbit POMs are independent. So, doing SVN
moves to different locations will not have any implications. However, we
should not be moving too often since it affects all other related systems.

The branching strategy will have to be rethought anyway IMO since the trunk
SVN structure has changed. I believe it will become simpler since
the individual branches will reside inside kernel, platform & orbit. We
will first do a kernel release, and that will have a branch. Based on that
kernel release, we will do platform releases. We can maintain the
individual platform branches inside the platform.

SVN server move can be done even later, provided that the SVN tree
structure is preserved, the outside parties may not relaize any different.
For example,  
https://svn.wso2.org/repos/wso2/carbon/kernel/<https://svn.wso2.org/repos/wso2/carbon/kernel/%5Btrunk>
 &  
https://svn.wso2.org/repos/wso2/carbon/<https://svn.wso2.org/repos/wso2/carbon/kernel/%5Btrunk>platform
are under the same repository now. However, in the future, we can make
these independent SVN repos, and the outside parties or systems will not
get affected since the URL does not change.

I think we should first get the build to pass, and then do these SVN moves
as soon as that happens.
