He doesn't need to.  RCS 5.5 *already* supports impoverished filename
capability mode of usage.

As quoted from rcs-5.5/README:
+----------
| Normally, RCS file names contain `,', which is outside the Posix portable
| filename character set; but in impoverished Posix environments, you can
| compile RCS so that the RCS file for Foo is named just RCS/Foo.
