(Sorry about the empty message, shaky fingers on a small laptop
keyboard)

This is really a request for the security branch (RELENG_X_y).
Would it be too much to ask that the updaters of UPDATING add a small
comment as to whether or not a mergemaster run is needed if updating
from the previous patch?

I follow stable and the security lists, but being fallible I may miss
something.  Mergemaster is *the* most time consuming step from my
perspective since it is interactive.  If the committers knew whether
or not file(s) changed such that a mergemaster was needed, that little
bit of info would be a huge time saver.

If this would be too much trouble, then never mind.

thanks,

davep
