Dear Paul,
The *-richtext editors are in the oacs-5-9 branch (and referenced by the interface-code in acs-templating in oacs-5-9). When new files are added to a non-head branch in CVS, the fisheye browser shows this somehow strangely by adding the same files marked as deleted to the HEAD branch. Note, that the current development is in the oacs-5-9 branch [1].
With the new *-richtext packages and the standardized interaction, it is easier to (a) add/remove editors, (b) to switch between editors and (c) add local modifications without boating acs-templating and without running into problems with (debian) packaging.
all the best
