Hi Marek,
I don’t take offense to your concerns. I’m just trying to be direct and
understand gaps there possibly are that can be filled in in etcupdate(8). Your
and others’ feedback is appreciated.
Thanks so much,

PS While I admit that smudge filters are possible for managing diffs with
mergemaster (and I think it’s a novel solution — I’ve never heard of that
before), not everyone should have to set those up to use a core configuration
tool. I find things like that unfortunate gaps in the tooling that drives away
users instead of attracts them. I personally prefer focusing less on the nits
and writing bespoke code for system administration, so I can focus on things
which matter more to me in my life: people and nature.
