Hello Mr. Flacy,
   Thanks for the suggestions.

I did, details below.

Honestly, for me, it is just aesthetics.

Upon searching the mailing list archives, I came across the following posts:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-arch-users/2005-03/msg00307.html
If someone has a backup copy of the content of this tutorial, I would 
greatly appreciate it.
I think Tom removed the usage of curly braces for both {archives} and 
{revlib} within this 'New Handbook'

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-arch-users/2005-03/msg00370.html

More evidence, from Tom, that the removal of curly braces from the name 
"{archives}" is not a major issue:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-arch-users/2005-03/msg00381.html

I will continue to search the mailing list for more evidence. If you 
have a specific technical reason why they should not be removed, could 
you please, point me towards the mailing list post. I would gladly read it.
