In those situations, doing a "make installworld" (the second half of "make world") would replace your userland with tools that were unable to work with the current running kernel unless you'd rebooted in the meantime. The long, correct method takes a bare minimum of additional work over the proposed, dangerous method. What's the point? -- Kirk Strauser
