Ah. Thanks for the automate command.

I just find it strange since if 'make world' was designed to update the
entire system, having an older kernel.GENERIC lying around by default is a
bit weird.

I don't think the "make world" page in the handbook states that
kernel.GENERIC isn't updated by default.  Maybe just a note that you could
update that too. (Like how it makes a note about updating sysinstall for
completeness).
