I run it when I notice that things have been changed in /usr/src/etc from my cvsup logs. As a side-note, I became frustrated with mergemaster asking me about a whole bunch of files that I don't want it to touch. I filed a PR that adds an IGNORE_LIST to the mergemaster script that is read out of the .mergemasterrc.

Every time you run "make installworld" or "make world". It's no big chore, I usually do it while I'm waiting for the new kernel to compile.

If you don't your /etc may be out of sync with your binaries which could be bad. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
