One of my questions about etc-update and portage is, why etc-update / portage even consider critical files like /etc/fstab for a update? It seems to me that files like this should never be considered for upgrades because they are static in nature, only need to be set up once, and if changes do need to be made it is because the admin of the box has changed the hardware configuration.
