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.

Finally, an issue with missing SCCS in the base is for those of us who work in shops behind an air-gapped firewall.

"Install from ports" is a non-starter.  Our development systems will never be connected to the internet for a ports upgrade.  In this environment, in-base RCS is a very useful tool.
