later tells the same thing as UPDATING.
And mergemaster(8) says:
-p Pre-buildworld mode. Compares only files known to be essen-
tial to the success of {build|install}world, including
/etc/make.conf.
(note "{build|install}world")
We use -p for installworld in the UPDATING/Handbook examples, since
-p for buildworld would be used for special cases that would be
documented in UPDATING.
I'd say the only (maybe) confusing thing is the name of the -p option.
