I'm not sure I believe that.  I think most people would prefer to not
have to jump through any hoops to see new features enabled, especially
when dealing with feature releases, and I don't think all that many
people run RCS inside their CVS repositories anymore.  Any dissenting
opinions other than Peter's out there?

Why is RCS whining anyhow?  The spec leaves room for newphrases.  Is it
requesting an upgrade?
