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?
