So you are saying it doesn't have a place even on ELPA?

Sure it has: the ELPA packages don't have to be 100% practical.

Really?  I'm surprised.

Surely even you can agree that criteria for ELPA and core shouldn't be the same.

If people want to use got, they might enjoy a dedicated VC backend for it.

So I'm asking if, for the same reason, it could make sense to have it
in core.

Aside from "why not?" not being a good reason, since 2697123933e3ac7ed4e21a6d12746a98ed7fa74a vc-responsible-backend iterates through all enabled backends when choosing the "current" one. So the longer we make the list of built-in backends, the more overhead we get on this.
