I was too fast with my former e-mail. Of course, mergemaster is for
FreeBSD itself. It is less a problem of mergemaster as of having to
touch a running system in a serious way. We have also the problem
having to maintain a number of machines and decided to create our
in-house solution. Yeah, it can leave the house after it works but it
must work first.
