Do you think $RCSFile$ could be deprecated/omitted after a
transition period? There's always the possibility to specify the
old default [keywordmaps] manually.

I'm sorry about this oversight; it's partly due to the fact that
I personally never wanted to specify default keywords -- to keep
the risk of accidental expansion as low as possible, while having
more flexibility than in CVS to configure your own keywords.
Which again is why I rarely use the default [keywordmaps] in
practice.
