Re: [Savannah-hackers] submission of GNU Revision Control System (RCS) Docume - savannah.nongnu.org

[Aaron S. Hawley]

i had prefixed the title of my project with "GNU" not because it has or
will be adopted, but because i was prefixing RCS with "GNU" since it /is/
a "GNU" application.

i understand the confusion, and i'll resubmit (using the submission
acknowledgement i think i still have).
