Technically it is quite simple: I need RCS to start versioning config
files, even before starting any customization. I know about several
others who do the same (and have not yet defected to Linux).
I would like to see RCS to be put back into the tree for 10.0. If it
really -has- to be victimized by the current anti-GPL crusade, it could
be replaced by OpenRCS in 11.
And as a long time hard-core user I would appreciate if this kind of
changes were performed only after at least -some- public discussion.
The way this change was sneaked in (though apparently with approval of
core@), reminds me more of a Secret Society than of an Open Source project.

Hans
