My first impression is "Bollocks!", but that's too harsh in a public forum. :-)

I add "$Id" lines to all my code, at home and at work, and normally to be
compiled in so that "ident fooprog" gives me the goodies.  I save enormous
amounts of time not having to guess what versions of files were used to
build an executable.  It's really useful, and there should be more of it.

What are these "clear and obvious annoyances"?  They've never bitten me, and
I don't see how it applies to the NetBSD vs Id case we have here.

Stephen.
