I don't know why those Emacs users who use Subversion, Git, Mercurial
etc may see how some convenient feature go away just because the VCS
used for Emacs development is... not as fast as others.

Following the true Emacs spirit, is it a good idea to introduce a
backend-specific variable for selectively enabling/disabling the VC info
shown on the modeline? It would be set to a sensible default for each
backend.
