I have never hit C-x v u by mistake.  u is pretty far from other common 
vc operations (=, d).  Just because something may be lost doesn't mean 
we should add yes-or-no for them all.  What if there is important text 
in a temporary buffer?  Add yes-or-no for C-x k?  I don't have rm 
aliased to rm -i either.  It works for me and probably others.

Anyway, the default may very well be ask.
