Marek,
	I=E2=80=99m curious: have you used etcupdate before instead of =
mergemaster? If so when? If you ran into issues (UX as well as =
functional): could you please report them on bugs.freebsd.org =
<http://bugs.freebsd.org/>; ?
	etcupdate is a less fragile tool that=E2=80=99s broken my =
systems less when compared with mergemaster.
Cheers,
-Enji=
