Off to Gentoo's "bug" submittal system to see if anything like this is already listed....
A search for "etc-update" turns up (18) results, many similar to what I'm referring to...
Someone commented about *not* replacing files like /etc/fstab or /etc/issue and the response was that "we sometimes need to merge new information". I guess I have a different definition of "merge"... To me, "merge" would imply "add to", not "replace".
I do see mention of an option "CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="enter files here..." that you add to /etc/make.conf. Haha !! But /etc/make.conf is a file that frequently gets replaced !!
