Re: deleting rcs keywords from emacs sources

    You say that "very few" of the bug reports you see seem to describe such
    cases.  So, if it actually does occur, and version headers would help
    with these cases, then that appears to be an argument to keep them, and
    to solve the problems they cause by some other means.

They impose a substantial maintenance burden.  It is worth removing them
when we don't need them.

If you find them useful in VC, we can keep them in VC for you.
