OK; then we're at least on the same page with respect to Solaris and
opensolaris.org, which seems to be the primary mailing lists for this
discussion.

If you're not part of the OS or packaging, then I don't see what
bearing this discussion has on you.  You ought to be free to do
anything you want -- including choosing a source code management
system and build environment that supports whatever things you might
dream up doing.  (And regardless of whether I or anyone else thinks of
those choices.)

I'm confused.  Why is this discussion about SCCS keywords, Mercurial,
and Solaris a problem for your project?
