              If you use `cvs tag -d symbolic_tag...',  the  sym-
              bolic  tag  you specify is deleted instead of being
              added.  Warning: Be very  certain  of  your  ground
              before  you  delete  a  tag; doing this effectively
              discards some  historical  information,  which  may
              later turn out to have been valuable.

Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology,"
start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.
