We install from the base release ISO images burned on DVDs.
We are physically air-gapped from the internet, none of the "end users" of the
system have access to USB ports, and there are no electronic devices allowed into the
development shop.
We have a scheme for bringing in software from /usr/ports, but it is painful.
And those ports can't necessarily walk on to all the systems in the shop. (I
don't make the rules. Suffice to say the company is very paranoid about their
code getting out into the wild.)
Having RCS in the base system is very useful. We use it to track changes to
bits of /etc on the machines where we don't do wholesale customizations.
(Those ones get git, but they also get an install of /usr/ports with a fully
populated /usr/ports/distfiles.)
So if nuking RCS is a case of "I don't use it," ... we do.
