No one was talking about improving support of VCSes beyond what we support for Git. But we should strive to have all the VCSes supported the same, and that cannot be considered counter-productive, because that's what VC is about, by design. So when we add some feature for Git, we should try supporting it for other VCSes as well, as a matter of policy.
