I've lost motd, passwd, group and master.passwd
During mergemaster -p I was asked to merge changes to some of these, and
still they were replaced with the newer versions. I don't know what went
wrong but have restored them from backup. (I always tar /etc before a
source upgrade). Upgrading another system using freebsd-update did not
cause any problem.
I have the same experience while I was upgrading a few machines
upgrading from RELENG_7 to RELENG_7_2. I haven't experienced when
upgrading from 7.1-R to 7.2-R.
Careful there - RELENG_7 is _newer_ than RELENG_7_2. The latter is
branched off RELENG_7 at some point and progresses much slower (as in:
errata and security, but no development), so that's no "update", but often
the reverse.
