The FSF is now running an arch server at savannah, see http:// 
arch.sv.gnu.org for info.

As for the politics, you may have noticed that GNU is a somewhat  
politically motivated project... :-)  But I have no idea if the  
choice of arch is official, or just what some volunteers were willing  
to support; ask RMS if you want to know the official position.   
(Personally, my preference would be svn, which I'm using at work, and  
svk for associated distributed work, but whatever....)
