Why? This simply allows those who are happy with the status quo to live peacefully with those who want the benefits of the new capabilities.

Hmm, perhaps I misunderstood what you were saying... Would the bzr client allow accessing an svn server, or the reverse? (please note that we already have bzr, hg and git mirrors. So it's not like people wanting to use a DVCS are out of solutions)

The reverse. IIUC, the bzr server would be able to speak to svn clients. bzr supports a centralized model perfectly fine along side a decentralized model, so any current developers who want to continue using their svn client can do so, and everyone else could use the bzr client to work decentralized.
(please note that we already have bzr, hg and git mirrors. So it's not like people wanting to use a DVCS are out of solutions)
Right, but ideally the server would support the full distributed model and users wold chose which client and models they are most comfortable with. One option would be to promote the mirrors to official status, but this is clunky because svn has a less complete model than a dvcs so it's more difficult to go in that direction.
