Well, I am trying to use etcupdate for at least 2 or 3 years and I regret it every time. I am taking care of about 20 machines and every time I need to upgrade them and use etcupdate there are some issues or at least unnecessary conflicts that I must fix manually. Many time in file that I never edited. For me personally the mergemaster worked in much better way. > The FreeBSD Handbook covers this transition in detail [1].
