CollabNet wants to establish Subversion as the successor to CVS,
because CollabNet's product (SourceCast) has a version contol
component. That part of SourceCast is currently implemented by CVS;
but Subversion lurks, uh, subversively, in the wings.

The idea is that if people like Subversion, then they'll be that much
more comfortable with SourceCast.

You can find out more at

...and (of course) I encourage you to do so! :-)

I actually don't see what difference it makes (for a contributor), but
I hope the above answer helps.
