Is such a project underway?  I.e. an RCS of some kind from FreeBSD?

OpenBSD went through this a while ago and use OpenRCS -- is that even
remotely appropriate for use in FreeBSD?  

>From reading most of both thread(s), it seems there's at least some
interest in keeping an RCS in base; whether it's the status quo RCS
(w/GPL) doesn't seem to be strictly required, as long as whichever RCS
is available in base is (mostly?) compatible with status quo RCS.
