Well, the mechanic works fine for many other things, such as
make.conf, rc.conf, periodic.conf. The point is for the system
to provide a reasonable default and then let the user override
it without having to edit the system-generated file. This allows
the system to unconditionally update system generated files and
greatly reduces the user's work.
I haven't run mergemaster in something like 4 years. I haven't needed
to.
