I don't disagree with that. However, the question you posited was
"would one be useful", and I think the answer is unequivocally yes.
Furthermore, I don't agree with the "compatibility == bad" assumption I
read into your message.

Yes. Personally, I've spent quite a bit of time with OpenCM after a
suggestion from Ted T'so. It's looking quite promising to me, although
I haven't yet used it to maintain a large project.
