Synopsis: [patch] Add notice to /usr/src/Makefile that make world is depricated State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: gavin State-Changed-When: Mon Jan 28 15:59:33 UTC 2008 State-Changed-Why: "make world" is not entirely deprecated - it still has a use for people installing jails, and for people who know exactly what they are doing. Additinally, "make world" will print a message when invoked outside of those two circumstances, explaining this. Given that, I think adding a comment into the makefile is probably unnecessary, as well as being misleading for the above reasons.
