For me, it's mainly a dumb reason.  I have had 'make' fail during
the 'installkernel' phase (not often, but it happens).  I tend to
fix a problem and then blindly re-enter my most-recent make command.
If that was 'make kernel', then I end up rebuilding the kernel when
I didn't need to.

Also, it gives me a breakdown of where the time is going.  So I can
tell if it's going to 'buildkernel' vs 'installkernel'.

Also, occasionally I have written updates to 'installkernel'.  At
one time I had an update to install the debug-version of a kernel
in a different directory (on a separate partition), when I had a
problem with the root partition running out of space.
