With all due respect Julian, The more we discuss this more this really 
points to the problem that FreeBSD appears to be a challenge to install 
packages into such that a package moving out of base is such a big deal.

Can we fix that instead?

I mean, this change should really not be a big deal, but yet it is and 
this speaks to the core of FreeBSD utility.

So again, is there a way to make it so adding RCS after install is not a 
big deal at all?
