I'd pretty much agree if we were talking about functions that might be 
used in third-party code. But you can't mark a key binding as obsolete.

And if we provide a replacement for vc-next-action in the form of 
vc-commit that simplifies usage and cuts on unused features such a 
"steal lock", is there a reason not to replace its binding in the same 
release where we introduce the new command?

We might keep vc-next-action defined for the time being, if only to 
allow users to revert the binding, in case some people actually use the 
"steal lock" functionality.
