Much appreciated, thanks!

We're making a serious effort at streamlining the cluster refresh process=

and etcupdate seems to fit the bill nicely for upgrading src-less systems=
=2E
 We have freebsd/8.x machines in the mix so this eliminates a whole bunch=

of script exceptions.

etcupdate is so much nicer than mergemaster when dealing with *many*
systems.  To paraphrase twitter:
mergemaster: i enter i enter i enter ... i enter i enter OH CRAP!
