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. Regards, Hans
