I would agree with Hilmar. Plus, the arguments of 'ancestors' become:
 > args(ancestors)
function (phy, node, which = c("all", "parent", "ALL"))

which is misleading. I think we could just keep the previous version of 
ancestors and use smthg like

c(t1, ancestors(x, t1, which="all"))

inside MRCA.
