All of the configuration for my Drupal sites DOES live in a VCS (it just doesn't have to, and many people don't bother). Drupal 8 is continuing to make this easier and more powerful, by (amongst other changes) making configuration live in the filesystem by default, turning the copy in the database into (one of several options for) a cache.
