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.

Re: How often to run mergemaster?
I recently started to track 4.X Stable. How often does one need to run mergemaster, or even better how does one even know that it needs to be run? 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.

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.

One way I got around that is to merge the "$FreeBSD " version line over, since the standard mode just checks version strings. mergemaster -s will notice they are different. I hope this helps.
