Do what it says: read `emerge --help config` which should explain the
situation somewhat.

Seconded. emerge leaves you to update config files and etc-update is a
tool to help *you* update.

UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that
would also stop you from doing clever things.

:-) One other hint about etc-update - in the interactive update it
doesn't tell you your options so type "?" to be given the list. The
basic ones are "l" and "r" to accept the left or right alternatives but
you can edit one or both before accepting.
/etc/etc-update.conf may also be helpful reading.
