I used src/UPDATING (near the end, under "COMMON ITEMS", then "To
rebuild everything and install it on the current system.") to inform me
as to the proper sequence.

It cites the use of "mergemaster -Fp"; accordingly, for my (daily)
tracking of stable/12 (and head), I (now) invoke "etcupdate -p" before
"make installworld" and "etcupdate" (without "-p" after "make
installworld".

Gory details (which I have tried to update to reflect reality) are at:

Peace,

While Trump successfully conned a lot of people for a while, in the
end he's just a failure throwing a temper tantrum because he lost.
