What's the easiest way then to toss all that intermediate history?
I'm thinking of the rcs "-o" switch that "outdates" any deltas in that
range.

Start a new branch before the sequence you want to clean up. Then, move 
the cleaned-up history to that branch, and eventually you can just delete 
the old one.

Big caveat --- do that before you make that dirty tree available
to outside, otherwise you would be in hot water ;-)
