Our group would do this set, though maybe we would have to start at 0:25 b/c some of the slowest people might not be able to do the first 25 on 0:20 (but it is only one, so maybe that's not such a big deal).
We do descending interval/changing distance sets every so often and I don't think this set is very different. The whistle just helps one remember the interval...our coach just programs the digital clock and calls out the interval (and encouragement) as we progress.
I am sure he would have no problem adopting this set, but I would guess our coach would probably prefer the descending interval set b/c, as the distance decreases, he would expect our speed to increase. The swimming intensity would build, just like he would want us to race on longer distances (this is a distance set, as Jazz noted).
