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? -- Alfred Perlstein
