RMS is opposed to that; I'd like to know why before I make a decision. I'm not dead-set against it. Dired and VC-Dired are similar in general, so if the implementations are totally different, that would mean (1) two different implementations of the same thing, and (2) a tendency for the user interfaces to become incompatible. It is possible for sufficiently strong reasons to outweigh that one.
