Any "experimental label" is in the mind, so consider it already removed.
If vc-status is meant to be an improved replacement for vc-dired then
it seems reasonable to me that it takes the binding 'C-x v d'. However,
I still use vc-dired so I think it's unreasonable to remove vc-dired
until vc-status does everything better.
I've only briefly looked at vc-status but here are a few things that I
noticed:
* vc-status doesn't seem to heed vc-stay-local or vc-cvs-stay-local.
* The filenames are highlighted by the mouse but clicking mouse-2 doesn't
visit the file in another buffer
* The statuses are highlighted by the mouse but clicking mouse-2 doesn't
do anything special
* The bindings vc-status-previous/next-line are on the menubar as menu-items
but no-one would ever use them from there.
* I'm not sure if the keybindings are based on Dired or Pcl-cvs but they
seem to be an unmemorable mix of upper and lowercase letters and other
characters.
* If Emacs can't connect with the server there is no message in the buffer
or elsewhere to explain what has happened.
* There is no description in the manual for vc-status. Indeed the node
"VC Status" is about Log-View mode.
* The mode name is "*VC Status*". I think the convention of enclosing
names in asterisks is for buffer names only.
