  | The sooner we get off of "things that use RCS semantics" the better.

For this, RCS and RCS semantics are irrelevant aren't they?   The only
relevance of RCS to any of this is the name of the macro (and given that
it is in almost every source file, I'd think it would need a very good
reason to warrant a change - it is just a name after all) and that the
contents of the string are currently (usually) automatically updated by RCS
(aka CVS).

The latter can easily change - the strings could contain any appropriate
identification data (commit ID's from whatever system is in use).

Using "RCS" in the name is also not really inappropriate, as while there
is a revision control system called just "Revision Control System" that's
also a generic name that applies to all of them (git, mercury, subversion,
cvs, even sccs, all included, along with RCS itself).
