I can't really answer that.

IMHO diff-hl (with its full feature set) might as well be in the default 
Emacs configuration, but I've seen few requests on emacs-devel for that 
to happen.

When the ELPA bundling feature arrives, though, it should be easy enough 
to do, if the consensus is in favor.

Until then, I'd say this feature can be worthwhile to have separately, 
but someone(tm) should really work on the patch and iron out the kinks.
