I'd say it _supports_ additional process, since this is
configurable. You could e.g. set your project's default to not require
tests, give all the people on the project all the roles so that
everyone may develop, review and integrate even their own work etc. In
essence you can disable or customize the additional process that aegis
offers.

RCS or fhist are enough. Aegis' history management is configurable:
you configure which command is used to obtain a particular version of
a file, or to add a new "top-most" revision etc.

Hmm? Did you leave out some word here? I do not get what exact aim you
mean, and how it would impede this aim.
