up to you. :) The standard upgrade process automatically touches nothing in /etc. Read the upgrade docs, they explicitly tell you etcXX.tgz and xetcXX.tgz are not installed during the upgrade. They handled by the sysmerge process...but they are handled like all other /etc files -- you are given the choice of keeping the old, installing the new, or merging for some combination of the two.
