And sorry, what I left out was how having ci/co in the base is immensely helpful with the installer scripts I write.  The server installation scripts I've cooked up use ci(1) to keep a record of changes made during the (possibly customized) installation process.  This is impossible if there isn't a basic RCS in the base system.
