13 So what is your suggestion? Keep the status quo and leave all Id,
14 Header, etc. in place, including profiles and init scripts? Or are
15 these Ids only useful for ebuilds?

17 Also note that there are some 200 ebuilds that don't have any $Id$ in
18 their header, and others that still have $Header$.
