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. sr.
