The top of the RCS changelog says:

    Fri Jun 16 06:19:24 1995  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

            Version 5.7 released.
             

Should we let /usr/bin/merge die in peace too?


People still use GNU Interactive Tools.  Not just crazy, stupid people,
and I bet not just Debian people.
