I was sort of afraid that would be the answer ... while I realize we
have massive historical precedents for the additional #s above and below
the content, what I was hoping for was that we would make the big break
with hysterical raisins and just make the # $FreeBSD$ the first line of
the file.

It's a minor issue (and yes, this is a legitimate bikeshed) but to my
way of thinking the extra #s are just wasted space that reduce the
amount of useful data that is presented when you open the file in an
editor.

I won't lose sleep if we go with the extra #s, but I wanted to at least
raise the issue in case there was still a chance to keep it simple. :)
