My personal opinion based on the fact that I have only problems with CVS
keywords substitution under various conditions is that this feature is not
needed and so it is good only to make issues. (problems are with doing
manual merging between two independent CVS repositories)

Also so far I have not any problem with Arch merging and so I can not
imagine the way how $ArchId$ might improve it. Have you already described
it in this thread? If so, then please excuse me, since I have just read
this email from it.

Cheers,

Karel
