[Zope3-dev] RFC: Don't need $Id$ string any more

[Jim Fulton]

I originally wanted $Id$ RCS keywords in module doc strings so that  
we could create tools that determined run-time version information.   
Unfortunately, subversion makes using this a bit difficult, as it  
doesn't update this information by default.

I think that, with eggs, this isn't needed any more.  To find  
versions being used, we just need to print the working set, which  
lists the distributions used, with their versions.

I propose we stop bothering to include $Id$ strings.  (Note that I'm  
*not* suggesting we go out of our way to remove them.)

Thoughts?

Jim
