If you watch the commit mail (which you should be doing if you are SUPing -current), then you'll see what is being changed, why it is being changed, and when you need to rebuild something. It's not necessary to shut down to single user. It is a good idea if you do the 'make world' when the system is mostly idle, however, as unusual transient things might happen to the users during some phases of the build. -DG
