That seems counter to what has been discussed : before, and is way non-BSD-ish. When you are updating from one version to the next, your best bet is to use the proceedure. It is needed to cross the binutils divide that we currently have in -stable. You are free to depart from that as a shortcut, but if you do, be aware that things might not build that would build with make buildkernel.
