I have never hit C-x v u by mistake. u is pretty far from other common
vc operations (=, d). Just because something may be lost doesn't mean
we should add yes-or-no for them all. What if there is important text
in a temporary buffer? Add yes-or-no for C-x k? I don't have rm
aliased to rm -i either. It works for me and probably others.
Anyway, the default may very well be ask.
