 If that's what the handbook said, I'd agree that it's bogus. But it
 doesn't.
 
 The manpage says that you'll probably need a new config to build a new
 kernel. It doesn't mention breakage at all in the paragraphs you're
 complaining about.
 
 I think it's good advice, since a mismatched config can often cause
 breakage. We're not saying that it's the _only_ cause of breakage.
 
 May I close your PR?
 
 Ciao,
 Sheldon.
