Probably; I'm tracking -STABLE.

It's getting pretty simple these days. Newer versions of -STABLE introduce
a few new options to mergemaster to help matters along:
-p Pre-buildworld mode. Compares only files known to be essen-

/etc/make.conf.
-C After a standard mergemaster run, compares your
rc.conf[.local] options to the defaults.
