it says 2 very important things:

 -- `make world` will overwrite (keywords here) existing base system
    (very well known as the 'world') without you explicitly telling it
    to (i.e., no 'install' string visible anywhere in the command line,
    but that's actually what it does);

 -- kernel is outside the world (slightly counter-intuitive), and
    installing world before kernel _can_ be dangerous (anyone
    disagrees?).

so yes, it is more user friendly
but this change causes very little inconvenience, thus could be
considered an improvement

Enough said
