No.  I don't agree.

Unless  you're going to  use 'vc'  only, I  don't think  your approach
would gain  much.  One would be  better off by  starting directly with
'pcscvs'  or  'psvn'.  C-x  v  C-h  would  give already  very  helpful
information about  the vc-command bindings that one  would need.  This
is because the buffer created by M-x cvs-examine or M-x svn-status are
quite different from the vc-rcs operations.  They're like using dir-ed
for file  operations vs.   using M-x make-directory,  M-x rename-file,
etc.
