I just upgraded from 3.4 RELEASE to 4.0 STABLE
but that brings up a question about mergemaster
when I ran it,  there were so many question on which I did not know
whether to replace or not, I just went with the default (i think that
was
no not replace) on all - which still took forever...

If /dev/drum is not used , could I not just delete /dev/drum and
erase the entry in rc?
