Subject: Miscellanea::RequireRcsKeywords is advertised, but missing.
The policy Miscellanea::RequireRcsKeywords was distributed in previous versions (before 1.118), but appears to be missing from 1.118. The policy is still advertised as part of the core distribution, and is not available as a standalone CPAN package, so it seems likely that it accidentally got dropped from 1.118. As a check I tested all the other advertised policies and found all of them to exist, only Miscellanea::RequireRcsKeywords was missing.

RequireRcsKeywords will be shipped in the next release of Perl-Critic-More. I should have released that immediately after removing it from the core, but alas, I forgot. I'll try to do that as soon as possible. I will leave this ticket open until then. -Jeff

BTW, I don't see any mention of RequireRcsKeywords in the documentation since version 1.118. So if you do see it advertised as part of the Perl::Critic core, then please show me where.

> Sorry for the slow reply.
No apologies! Thank you for making this work available. I understand about false positives. I simply pulled the RequireRcsKeywords out of a 1.17 distro and pasted it into our 1.18 installation. In your other message you asked where I found it to be "advertised". I believe I saw it in the rendered POD on one of the CPAN pages, but I am unable to find it now. Best Regards -Paul Show quoted text
