It is my understanding that all (or almost all?) users of vc-diff and 
other callers of vc-diff-internal use vc-root-diff just as often (and 
don't complain about it).

There could be some exceptions, of course. Like people who use CVS 
exclusively.

That's also an option, but I'd have to see a scenario where this binding 
changes the observed behavior.

The question is how often that actually happens, and how useful the 
result is compared to the default behavior.
