Could you please enlighten the rest of us as to when the sequence of
operations performed by "make world" is a useful thing to do? The
only case I can imagine is that of a developer who has changed a .h
file that is widely used by userland but not by the kernel, and I
find it hard to imagine that happens often enough to weigh against
the continual damage to new users from this deceptively inviting target.
