Until this moment, I had never heard of etcupdate, and I had
mergemaster practically programmed into my fingers for system updates.
So I read the man page for etcupdate, and it looks like just what I
should have been using all along!

Given that my habitual method for updating with mergemaster will
clearly not work any more, it seems highly regrettable that there
is no reference to etcupdate anywhere in the FreeBSD Handbook, or
in /usr/src/UPDATING in the tail end COMMON ITEMS section.  If it
hadn't been for this email thread, I never would have found out
about it (and I would have become highly wrought when update time
rolled around once again).

Could someone who is more familiar with etcupdate please modify
/usr/src/UPDATING and the Handbook appropriately?  Thanks. -- George
