The problem is that Joe User's are using *this* target, even though
we already have documentation that points them to a reliable set
of steps for upgrading their systems.  If you do not fix the target
that they are actually typing in, then it does not matter how many
more new targets that you add.

And at least for now, a reliable set of steps must include a
"reboot and check kernel" before installing the world.  There is
no way for `make' to do that.
