the automatic merging is so sweet. Not to have hunt around in config files to |
| 23 |
rescue all your settings - cfg-update takes care of it - and it does that very |

well. I haven't had a butchered config since I started cfg-update a long time |
| 25 |
ago. It sometimes asks when the changes are too big. I like that. |
