Re: [PATCH] Disable VC when Emacs is noninteractive -batch

[Richard Stallman <rms@gnu.org>]

    These days, my primary use of RCS is to keep copies of files (with  
    history) that I no longer want in my working directories.  I  
    occasionally examine these files, but it's pretty rare - basically a  
    warm archive, with history.

Do you ever delete the source files that are stored in RCS?
If not, then this feature will never do anything in your case.
So why object?

    I would be leery of having emacs automatically answer any VC  
    questions at all -- there are new vc systems being added and  
    developed, and it's not hard for me to imagine a (non-emacs-using)  
    developer adding a prompt where either `yes' or `no' is the right  
    answer most of the time but a destructively wrong answer in some  
    rarer cases.

Speculations about hypothetical future features, that will probably
never exist and would be separate issues if they did exist, does not
seem relevant.
