You are absolutely right.

But for anyone who plans to modify core Zope code this is an option
to keep maintainability quite easy.

He may also be interested in a CVS patch I submitted to "bugs-cvs at gnu.org"
which lets the "-kk" CVS option work correctly for binary files.
"-kk" is essential to get rid of conflicts caused by "$Id:$ (or
other CVS keyword) strings. As I understand it, the CVS authors
plan to include this patch in future CVS releases.
