Has any of you actually looked at the RCS files in order to fix them up?
I have, so I request you guys to trust me when I say that it is not

be maybe fixed someday.  Integrating the new revisions into the repaired
RCS file is no problem at all and will only take a few minutes should it
ever be done.
