--- Comment #2 from John Baldwin <jhb at FreeBSD.org> ---
Hmm, this sounds like a good idea.

In regards to 'etcupdate status -p', what would that do?  'etcupdate status'
already reports any status after 'etcupdate -p' as there is a single, shared
conflicts/ tree, and a shared warnings file, so a bare 'etcupdate status' after
'etcupdate -p' should report the right status to permit, for example:

etcupdate -p
while ! etcupdate status; do
    etcupdate resolve -p
done
etcupdate
while ! etcupdate status; do
    etcupdate resolve
done

One question is what should etcupdate status report if there are no conflicts
but there are warnings (warnings can be for things like needed post-install
actions that can't be performed in a chroot)?  These potentially still require
user intervention.
