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'. sb> which is forbidden. It also doesn't have any autoloads.

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.

A late night 10PM-3AM US/Pacific (former) talk radio show host and the staple of all my late-night XEmacs hacking. http://www.artbell.com/ Very non-mainstream, not necessarily believable but the best live entertainment for late night I've ever encountered. It's so much cheaper listening to talk radio, now I'm going to have to go out and buy new CD's ... but since there's nothing to listen to late at night maybe I can keep more normal hours ...

You cannot provide autoloads without splitting the package in 2 files like vc-hooks and vc.
