Since I failed to do so explicitly the first time around, I've updated the
Specification section of GLEP 36[1] to explicitly propose 1 repository per
project and the reasons for doing so.  At the time of writing this www.g.o is
still showing the old revision (guess it takes a while), so I've attached a diff.

 The following steps describe, in detail, the process of setting up the
 Subversion svnserve daemon (over SSH) and creating new repositories.
-Information is already available for converting Gentoo CVS repositories ([4]_)
-in addition to the cvs2svn documentation itself ([5]_).
+
+One repository should be created per project.  Reasons for this include easier
+control over who has access, performance (checking out one big repository
+takes many times longer), ease-of-use (branching and merging are more difficult
+with one big repository), and meaningful revision numbers (since Subversion
+uses repository-global revision numbers, revision numbers for project A will
+increase on every commit even if no changes are made to project A).
+
+For preexisting CVS repositories, instructions on converting ([4]_) are
+already available in addition to the cvs2svn documentation itself ([5]_).
