Er, well, with the smiley I'm confused -- is this a serious question?

Kendall Bennett noted that {RCS,CVS}ID strings in the sources make it 
hard to import/merge changes into other people's trees. I certainly 
agree -- after 10+ years working with X Consortium, XFree86, and now 
Xorg trees doing imports and merges -- that it does indeed make for more 
work.

So you have to tell me whether it's valuable or not to be able to look 
at a file, possibly from somewhere else, and be able to tell at a glance 
what its provenance is.
