To me it was new but it is my mistake.
Codeshare is basically a marketing agreement, nothing more. Look at Alaska. They codeshare with practically half the world's airlines. Specifically, walk through MSP and look at the signs at each Delta gate and watch most of them scroll through the codeshare partners for that flight. You'll see AS 99% of the time.
