Certainly there is.

Note that I don't propose ditching svndiff0, or rendering older clients 
incompatible with newer servers. The effect of completely removing 
vdelta would be that in some situations, clients that don't support 
svndiff1 would appear bit slower when talking to a new enough server, 
whilst newer clients that do support svndiff1 would appear faster. Such 
a trade-off is completely acceptable, IMHO.
