And here’s another tip: before modifying anything in /etc, I try to
make a backup copy with the suffix “-orig” attached. That way, it’s
easy to find all the places I’ve customized the config, with a simple
command like
 
    find /etc -iname \*-orig

 
Or you could:
 
# mkdir RCS ...

 
Some people use Git. Why be satisfied with half-measures?

You snipped out (as you are wont to do):

v] (Or, you could use git, but that's overkill for /etc files...)

rcs isn't a "half-measure" -- it's a simpler measure.  But by all means,
use git:

1) cd /etc
2) git init
3) [...]
4) Profit!
