TeamWare (developed by Larry McVoy before he wrote BitKeeper) is a modern source code management system that is built on top of SCCS. (It's a really big hack, but it does some distributed branching really well, and CVS doesn't.) The point is that there are still legitimate uses for SCCS. That said, I don't see any reason SCCS has to be in the base system unless FreeBSD is actively seeking POSIX certification. By the way, I believe Juli was working on porting the 4BSD SCCS to FreeBSD, but I don't know what her eventual purpose for it is.
