There was some talk about this a while ago - whatever happened to it?
(Essentially, MIT should update the version of RCS used and use diff
(named gdiff) from fsf for propper support). Several developers
(including myself) are using the newer rcs in private copies - so they
must think it is all working. I believe that once the release hits the
field it is a low impact on the user community. If you happen to use RCS
and walk between clusters while the release is propograting you may have
a five hour problem. (timestamps now use GMT instead of the local
timezone)
