I avoid mergemaster/etcupdate and whatever else. rc.d and /etc/rc,
/etc/rc.subr /etc/rc.network are not suitable to etc, they are binaries
provided by the project not for the user editing.

When upgrading the host, esp. on HEAD, i usually refresh scripts by this
procedure and avoid any editing and implied conflict resolution for real
configs.

Not being able to easily install clean copies of these scripts would
be very inconvenient and time consuming.
