My feeling is that SCCS is only of historical interest. It would be nice to be able to access old SCCS files, but I can't imagine that many people would want to use it for new work.
Boy, do I wish this were the case. I'm behind on mail, I browsed the responses to this thread, and I'm of at least two minds on this one:
First mind: Keep it a solid port to encourage SCCS fading away. Those forced to use it will find it.
Second mind: If any reputable standard expects it, and if Solaris includes it, pull it in.
I have one client purchasing a fair number of embedded Solaris systems per year who will not give up SCCS, and for that client the inclusion of SCCS in a standard distribution (as I guess it is in Solaris) is a big plus.
They've been shipping systems for X+ years, and all customer modified files have been automatically under SCCS control. For them SCCS is an expected part of the system, and the fact that it is available as a port and not in the base system is unnerving. Don't ask why leaving out a compiler isn't a concern.
