But it was either a quick comment about it and link to the handbook where we advocate "buildworld" or remove the world target. Of course, we could just do nothing and let users continue to submit PRs about it bombing with a complaint of an undocumented make(1) option. Personally, I was debating on just removing most of the world target with just a message: "The world target has been replaced with the buildworld target." But stepped back due to bikeshed potential. ;) -- Tom Rhodes
