Yes, that's usually the next step in the process. It is a little bit 
messy because
there is a WITHOUT_RCS option and openrcs doesn't have rcsfreeze (and
perhaps something else that we don't use).

I really want to check out first if there is some strong opinion against
OpenRCS. Perhaps someone that has used it before and thinks it is a
bad idea.

It looks like there are voices against it, so those have to be addressed 
first.
