TeamWare (developed by Larry McVoy before he wrote BitKeeper) is a
modern source code management system that is built on top of SCCS.
(It's a really big hack, but it does some distributed branching
really well, and CVS doesn't.)  The point is that there are still
legitimate uses for SCCS.  That said, I don't see any reason SCCS
has to be in the base system unless FreeBSD is actively seeking POSIX
certification.

By the way, I believe Juli was working on porting the 4BSD SCCS to
FreeBSD, but I don't know what her eventual purpose for it is.
