Surely leaving room for things to be implemented for other VCs means
that it remains VC-agnostic. With e.g. Magit there isn't even that room.

VC is far more flexible and Emacs-y than Magit in how it handles
buffers. E.g. in Magit if you C-x x u a log buffer, because you want to
log something else at the same time, Magit will re-use the first log
buffer anyway. So for those of us who like it when things are more
buffer-oriented, it remains a good alternative.
