   On the other hand, the number of people who will avoid being
   confused and annoyed by the stupidity of vc-toggle-read-only
   will be _vastly_ greater.

OK, you've convinced me.  The other ~2, well they will survive...

I will wait until ESR finishes wrangling w/ VC (end of July?)
and then delete vc-toggle-read-only with the (proposed) NEWS
entry:

* Incompatible Editing Changes in Emacs 23.1
** Command removed: vc-toggle-read-only
If you think you need this, ask yourself: "Self, don't i feel less
confused and annoyed now that that stupid vc-toggle-read-only
is gone?".  Realize the affirmative, take a deep breath, and
turn your gaze to vc-next-action (normally bound to `C-x v v').

(That is, unless anyone objects.)
