All non-state changing VC commands should be asynchronous. Currently
vc-diff, vc-annotate, vc-log and vc-status are.

Not sure what you mean above about vc-diff... 
vc-diff is essential to be asynchronous, computing diffs can take
several minutes (see what Tom Tromey said in another thread about GCC
svn).  Having an indication in the mode-line that the diff is still
active is very good, especially if the user has selected a large number
a files for diffing.
