Personally I would find it "consistent" if 'q' could be used to quit
out of any buffer that I have just "looked at" and never intended to
change--whether I opened it (or some other command opened it) in
view-mode or not (as is the case for pcl-cvs).
Whether I can 'expect that' is another issue -- for me, the
convenience of being able to do so would IMHO greatly exceed the
rare(?) inconvenience of having to do something special if I
really need to insert a 'q' as the first character in a buffer after
opening it.
Of course, if I also want SPC and DEL to behave like view-mode, things
may get more confusing.

I agree it should not be the default (although my patch suggested that).

YMMV.
I could make a pseudo-view-minor-mode that does what I want and then
hook it into various modes as I see fit. At least I wouldn't

If it was just the 'accident' -- but I really like to be able to use
'q' to quit.
