This is probably just a fact in my biography, but I never use RCS for
more than a separate file.  Anything more, and having multiple
versioned directories looks much more productive (especially with

Of course, how the "maintainer" actually maintains things is not of my
concern; and my personal preferences should not be taken with anything
but a grain of salt...
