Yep.  The short version is that 'make installworld' doesn't put things into 
/etc -  that's what 'make distribution', mergemaster, etcupdate, and 3rd party 
tools  do.   Having 'make installworld' suddenly begin to partly update /etc 
files is quite a POLA violation and caused etcupdate to delete them as they 
disappeared from the 'distribution' manifest.  eg:
  D /etc/auto_master
  D /etc/devd/hyperv.conf
  D /etc/devd/uath.conf
  D /etc/devd/ulpt.conf
  D /etc/devd/usb.conf
  D /etc/devd/zfs.conf
  D /etc/rc.sendmail
  U /etc/mtree/BSD.var.dist
