uuummmm... no. "make world" is the same as "make buildworld && make
installworld". As i understand it, the Powers That Be have said that
the proper way to do it is as follows:

(do your cvsup to your branch of choice)
make buildworld
make buildkernel KERNCONF=<your kernel config file>
make installkernel KERNCONF=<your kernel config file>
(or you could just "make kernel KERNCONF=<conf file>" instead of
build+install steps)
make installworld
mergemaster
reboot

Serve with a shot of Tequila and a slice of lime. Enjoy.
