Canon exists for those who want to play the game like a movie. Yes, the point of TSL is to make your own decisions and thusly, create your own adventure, but there's just that normal human curiousity that wonders "Hmmmm, now if these people were real, how would things play out?"
So, no, canon isn't important, but it entices some people's curiosity.
That makes a (purely hypothetical) "canon playthrough" mod sound a little enticing, actually.
Anyways, since I don't see the intricacies of the plot details restored in the RCM affecting the universe's continued course of events that much differently from the vanilla game, I can't see why it wouldn't be considered a perfectly valid piece of C-canon material.
Is TSLRCM "canon"?
