Well, there's always delta removal, but I am not sure it's worth it in 
this particular case.  However, if leaving it in creates a precedent and 
other people think it's ok to simply add $Id$ for the hell of it, then I 
think they'd better come out before things get too far off the rails.

Yes, and make(1), and sh(1)..  I'm not sure how much of sh(1)'s 
modifications are due to $Id$ then the Lite2 merge, or whether it's 
genuinely had all it's files modified.  This is exactly the kind of 
problem we need to avoid.

Sigh,
