Would it make sense to install the new mk files during the bootstrap target. The original idea I had for the bootstrap target was to deal with precisely these things, carry out steps required to bootstrap from the previously released version to current. It does mean that you get the mew mk files installed even if the build subsequently fails and you don't install the new version, would this cause any problems since you'd be working with new Makefiles anyway if you'd upgraded your sources to run the bootstrap in the first place. I successfully upgraded from 2.2.5 to current by doing cd /usr/src/share/mk make install and then doing a make world as normal. If there's no other problems just add the above step to bootstrap and make bootstrap the first stage of make world as it was meant to be.
