Hmm. It might be nice to have around as a port, but I don't
see why it would need to be in the base system. We just
tossed perl *out* of the base system, and perl is a lot
more useful [in day-to-day work] than sccs would be.

Perhaps the CD's should include the source for the port... :-)
[one that would compile and install on the current
FreeBSD's, and not just the source for the original sccs]
