Oh, I do! I do! I do upgrade the comments, too. I've
worked on too many systems in the wee hours of the morning
with little or no docs! I am a firm believer - fanatic
about docs and that includes comments <G>.

Well, I do it by using my editor (jstar) to show both
files - new on top, old on bottom. I then go through and
see what is new and then modify one of the files. For
example, with make.conf I keep my old and move stuff from
the new one to the old. ---
Updating the old stuff is OK as long as you update the
_comments_,
too;-) I'd think many people are as lazy as I am<g> and
skip that
(the computer doesn't care;) Esp. /etc/make.conf is
"enriched"
constantly with new specs, existing parameters may take
on new
values etc.
Therefore I always use the new version as a template and
re-insert
the previous customizations to keep the comments
up-to-date. It
means more work...
