Initially mergemaster was a port which gave lots of people the
opportunity to gain familiarity with it easily. At some point after it
had been a port for a while there was a "critical mass" of people
suggesting that it be moved into the base system since it was one of
those ports that almost everyone installed anyway.
That said, I have no objection to whatever the community decides should
be done with etcupdate. Given that they approach the problems of
updating differently I think that there will be people who are more
attracted to it instead of mergemaster, and that's fine too. :)
