I have never liked RCS keywords, and I would be glad if they were gone.

In all cases, they are present because some Lisp package maintainer
wanted them.  Sometimes I argued against this, and sometimes I did not.
I'd guess some of those maintainers are still active, while some of them
are long gone.
