Oh but it does.
You may get the historical 'make world' behavior by defining
HISTORICAL_MAKE_WORLD. You should understand the implications
before doing this.
So, if you know what you are doing and you really _want_ the old
behavior, set HISTORICAL_MAKE_WORLD and off you go:
# env HISTORICAL_MAKE_WORLD=yes \
make world
It's not so hard or such a big PITA, right?
