Using libraries and "start using" and such is both more clumsy and a step removed from the actual development process. Even CVS, with all of its associated bull, comes closer to the team development intent, I think.
I have found the bull worth it, though at first it is confusing. But for distributed development, which is done more and more these days across not just rooms, but countries (and maybe soon even planets and solar systems :-)), CVS is hard to beat. Sourceforge, which uses CVS exclusively AFAIK, though sometimes slow, has been central to the collaborative methodology of the open source movement. I have personally been involved in a couple of these projects with engineers in the US, UK, and Germany, and it is quite a thing to be part of.
But there in another reason for team development, and that is project stability. The loss of one team member, though difficult, does not kill the entire project, as it can when it is all in one person's head.
IMHO, if a file format and method cannot be found to use RR in a team approach, I think all RR projects will self-limit to a smaller size and more limited problem set than otherwise would be attainable with a team approach.
