Hi and sorry for being late to the party due to occasional lapses in my
reading the list.

But I wanted to throw my two pennies into the mix.
I’ve never switched from etc-update which I used when I started out with
Gentoo back in ye olden days. But when I started using vim for everything,
I set my diff-tool to vimdiff. This allows me to import the new changes “my
way” and merge them with my own customisations very easily.
