Sure -- let a thousand flowers bloom.  Besides, there are some client 
applications that expect to use RCS as the backend, not CVS.

I'm more worried about the text/binary issues -- especially mixtures. 
E.g. if the revision files are stored on a binary mount, but the working 
files are stored on text mounts -- or vice versa.  Do things still work? 
  (AFAIRC, even CVS still has difficulty with this)
