Well I clearly have no say regarding those specific files, but it
seems to me like these CVS Id tags are completely meaningless, anyway
you want to look at them. They barely refer to the last person having
touched these files in our *CVS* tree, which hasn't been touched in
ice ages...

Copyright information is stored elsewhere, and historical trivia can
still be found in said CVS tree.

Plus, I may be wrong but ISTR back in the days when we were still
using CVS that these very tags were frowned upon as they were the
source of merge conflicts (I'm pretty sure there were some emails
about that years ago, though I can't seem to find them online).
