It was removed in 1.13 of vc-hooks.el.

Current CVS has a strange looking section of
;;;###autoload(defun vc-load-vc-hooks ()
;;;###autoload  (interactive)
;;;###autoload  (require 'vc-hooks)
;;;###autoload  (vc-find-file-hook))

;;;###autoload(and (featurep 'menubar)
;;;###autoload     (featurep 'xemacs)
;;;###autoload     (not (or (featurep 'vc-hooks) (featurep 'infodock)))
;;;###autoload     current-menubar
;;;###autoload     (car (find-menu-item current-menubar '("Tools")))
;;;###autoload     (add-submenu '("Tools")
;;;###autoload		  '("Version Control"
;;;###autoload		   ["Load VC" vc-load-vc-hooks t])
;;;###autoload	"Compare"))

Ville, could you please comment.

Uwe, I use
M-x erevision
in version controlled files and it works well with old and new vc.

Do some command-line testing as suggested before by Ville.

Apparently there's no authoritative online version of the rcs man
pages, but
http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/rcs/co.1.html
should be good enough for your testing.

co -pREV FILE
will print revision REV of file FILE to stdout.

I don't have RCS installed locally, I just use it via tramp on remote
systems.
