I doubt it. We've left out some of CVS's misfeatures on purpose, and I

(P.S.: I wish GNU make didn't try to look for dependencies in SCCS and
RCS repositories...same sort of breakage there.)

development environments is where the idea of version control started.
Certainly document flow/management systems are a much larger potential
user of version control than software development.
