I just searched all of the rcs man pageS for the word 'baseline'.  Never
found it once.  'branch' <> 'baseline' is not only an inequality, it is
a constraint error.  Talk about chaos.

Seriously, using 'branch' as a 'baseline' is exactly the kind of kludge
that I said before I am not interested in.  I don't want to have
millions of different branches.  Moreover, what if I also want to use
branches what they were designed for, namely variants supporting
multiple platform or bug fixes to old versions?  Now I've got to come up
with an extra naming convention to distinguish traditional branches from
those that I am using to represent baselines.  Now I've got a mess.

No thanks.
