Actually, this is incorrect.  What we were told is that "user-visible" 
instances of SCCS keyword usage (such as the module name string in 
drivers) would need to be changed.  I was among the first people to fix 
a driver in preparation for SCCS keywords going away.  I can not find 
the e-mail at the moment, but when the "remove SCCS keywords" directive 
came down, we were told to leave the ident string.

Since some form of the #pragma ident or #ident string is in very close 
to almost every file in ON, if they are an issue, why aren't they being 
removed by script or why aren't we having a fire drill to remove them 
(like when we added the CDDL header)?
