Its in UPDATING on -CURRENT.  I guess we need to explicitly warn people to
read the -CURRENT UPDATING and not the -STABLE one when planning their
upgrade.

This is in -CURRENT UPDATING:

       ****************************DANGER*******************************

        DO NOT make installworld after the buildworld w/o building and
        installing a new kernel FIRST.  You will be unable to build a
        new kernel otherwise on a system with new binaries and an old
        kernel.

Also see the section "To upgrade in-place from 4.x-stable to current" near
the bottom of the file.
