Something like that. The plan is to turn off the normal RCS id keywords so that checking a file in with vendor ID's will never be touched. This means we (obviously) won't be able to use $Id$ ourselves. It's a repo-wide setting (unfortunately), but that's the way the tools are. It will also be the end of patch-* files in ports failing to apply if they have a vendor $Id$ tag in them. > Can someone point me to archives of where this change was discussed?

And jkh later had another go, but that was backed out since it was a bit premature as a lot of the tools didn't support it properly. This has been discussed to death over the last 4 years in various places. Mostly on the mailing lists and in private email. This time it was "just done" to spare us all from yet another 5000-round email thread rehashing the old arguments all over again.
