Yes.  However, the salient issue for me is that with the Ids in the
file, on subsequent invocations, mergemaster would leave the file as-is
unless the Id changed.  This wass usually on the order of a few times
per year for a given file.

Now that the Ids are no longer present, mergemaster will now prompt on
every invocation for each file locally modified on each machine.

This amounts to about a dozen opportunities to screw things up for each
machine daily for me; that's just not ... reasonable.

So far, etcupdate seems to be working out OK for me (as in "not
prompting for each of the files in question on each invocation").

An election becomes "disputed" merely when any party claims a disagreement
about it, no matter how evidence-free, specious, absurd, or ridiculous.
