OUCH - NO!
these "modern distributed VC systems" are proliferating like rats in a
garbage dump, each having its own precious set of commands and
conventions. bzr, hg, git - each is different.
when I have to use hg for work, git for gnulib and bzr for emacs, I want
a uniform interface which DTRT for each underlying backend.

dvc has a chance of creating a de-facto interface standard which all
these backends will have to be able to mimic to be supported by dvc.
go for it!
