vc-state is likely to surivive with unaltered semantics. So is diff.
`dir-status' and `dir-status-files', on the other hand...there is a comment
in vc.el that reads:
;; - Another important thing: merge all the status-like backend operations.
;; We should remove dir-status, state, and dir-status-files, and
;; replace them with just `status' which takes a fileset and a continuation
;; (like dir-status) and returns a buffer in which the process(es) are run
;; (or nil if it worked synchronously).
I think this is a good thing to aim at.
