This is only to optimize buildworld times, you know, and IIRC,
every __FreeBSD_version bump should be documented in the Porter's
Handbook.  What will I put there?

These events also happen more frequently than it seems at a glance;
if, for example, during the next couple of days we find a bug in
groff (in the code), and fix it, I'd need to bump __FreeBSD_version
again and increment one in Makefile.inc1.  I'd like to avoid this.
