RCS is in Fedora and in any other distribution. There is nothing more convenient for single files (like for instance /etc files). Just type:

ci -t- -l /etc/hosts

and start editing.

Having to learn yet another tool that works nothing like any other VCS is quite inconvenient.

There are only three commands to learn (check-in, check-out and rcsdiff) and they are just the very same operations that sit at the core of every other VC.

It is worth it is because RCS is available in every single Linux distribution: even the oldest ones, even the most stripped-down ones. (Remember that I was answering to someone carrying his CSSC packages around).
