You'll no doubt find that in the NetBSD community there's a great rift  
(or many great rifts) between the people who want upgrades to change  
otherwise relatively static things in /etc vs. those who think some or  
all of /etc is always host specific.  For example Alan, if I  
understand him correctly, just posted that he's in the latter camp.   
You'll find various other folks who sit on various fences around the  
subject too.  :-)
