Hi Mark, Be VERY careful when telling etc-update to go ahead and upate things. I messed up my system big time after I told etc-update to update everything automatically after an "emerge -u system".
Best policy is to definitely back up your /etc/ directory through a bash script or something BEFORE doing the update. Then like someone said if everything runs okay for a while (I would give it a good week or two) you can assume things are okay.
