Actually it's correct, just a bit unclear.  UPDATING includes the
complete procedure you should always follow when building world.  It
includes a 'mergemaster -p' step, precisely for the purpose of adding
new users and groups when they appear.

Yes, this script is just asking for trouble.  Still, I bet you'll stop
using it after the first time it destroys your FreeBSD installation

You need to.  If you insist on not doing so, any problems that result
are your own concern.

It's needed by parts of FreeBSD, which is why it's there.
