Hello Yuval,

Anytime that Gentoo wants you to do something it will tell you. Anytime I've had this 
happen I get
a message telling me (after I've done an "emerge -uD world") that (for example) 20 
files processed
and 3 need updating.  This is when you actually need to use "etc-update". Only if it 
tells you
though. If it doesn't then it has already merged the trival changes transparently 
without the need
of your assistance.

HTH's,
JBanks
