It is very useful, for people who treat VCS history as a script that
may be revised to improve presentation.  But for those who treat VCS
history as an audit trail (in some cases legally required or at least
extremely useful) rollback is a very dangerous feature.

I don't see any reason in a DWIMish front-end like vc.el to have the
rollback feature -- let those with the skills or the specialized use
cases use the command line or (for vc.el) write commands.
