Why not? It does provide useful functionality via C-x v =, C-x v ~, C-x v l, and C-x v g as well as information in the Modeline about the fact that the file is under version control and which system is used. These are very useful in my experience and completely orthogonal to what pcvs or psvn provides (which I obviously find very useful as well). Just don't expect VC to provide a full frontend (at least not yet). Stefan
