Hello!

As long time FreeBSD user I am concerned about RELEASE and STABLE configuration files inconsistency. No big deal but really annoying if you want to upgrade systems occassionally. The problem is that there is huge amount of old files between RELEASE and STABLE config files- more precisely lots of older config files in STABLE that is really strange considered that it should be much newer than RELEASE.

Oh, and why I have to remove myself from the system? I don't get it. Same problem with master.password file- why the hell I have to change that?

How comes that difference is 4 years? Of course files are identical but this is annoying to go through files that is not changed at all. Some files are newer- that's expected BTW. Please syncronize your cvs between releases.
