Nah, I don't think it's particularly coordinated.
(Context: what we're talking about is the tendency of proponents of
other revision control systems to show up in Subversion announcement
threads and make first post recommending the other software, sometimes
slamming Subversion in the process. This happened at Linux Weekly
News recently.)
Anyway, I don't think it will have much effect on Subversion's
adoption -- the relative merits of the software will be more
important. But it was nice that you pointed out the asymmetry:
Subversion proponents (thankfully) tend *not* to do this in the
announcement threads of other systems. I hope it stays that way.
