If you use `cvs tag -d symbolic_tag...', the sym-

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.
