I'm not ready to change the bindings because a lot of people
use it
where I work. But nothing prevent you from distributing it with
another bindings.
We'll have to, unfortunately. C-c [A-Za-z] are strictly forbidden
from being bound by distributed Emacs packages because those
keybindings are the only keybindings strictly reserved for the user.
A compromise would be making an explicit keymap and adding a user
option as to where it gets placed. You can then make this go to `C-c v'.

You cannot provide autoloads without splitting the package in 2
files
like vc-hooks and vc. As it is optionnal to use it and not too big, I
think it could be loaded for those who want to use it.
I'm using autoload cookies in the version I currently use, but you're
right, there needs to be the same kind of split as in vc. The cookies
I'm using autoload too much.
I'll think about this. I want cvs.el in the distribution and I want
it as conveniently available as possible.
