Install allows the selection of etc / xetc.
Upgrade does not give those as an option. parts of etc / xetc are
updated using sysmerge. You might have changed the configuration, you
don't want to lose those changes.
See FAQ 4.5.1
,
Upgrade: Install a new set of install files on this machine, but do not
overwrite any configuration information, user data, or additional
programs. No disk formatting is done, nor are the /etc or /var
directories overwritten. A few important notes:
See FAQ 4.7
..
The etc53.tgz and xetc53.tgz sets are not installed as part of an
upgrade, only as part of a complete install, so any customizations you
make will not be lost. You will have to update your /etc, /dev and /var
directories manually.
It's been this way for a long time.
