peter@ hinted at this in
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2012-August/069251.html
and this lead to a subthread where jhb@ and Julian H. Stacey disagreed
whilst I agreed and further suggested that RCS also be removed.

As I said before:  CVS (and RCS) are both GPL-licensed tools that (as
of 10.x) no longer serve any purpose in the base system.  ... They are
[therefore] not needed in the FreeBSD base.
