I do like the idea that if a file is unchanged, it gets updated automaticly (not silently though!) as etc-update doesnt appear to do this well at the moment.
If a file is unchanged, it will not be set as a pending update. If there are trivial changes only (headers, comments, etc) then it will automagically update them (and inform you of what files these are).
I've never had problems with etc-update, its only when you start messing around with features like -5 (automerge without -i) that bad things start happening, and I dont think these should be mentioned in the interface (but maybe in the man page with a warning)
