Better memorization due to the similarity and a clear scheme? I
can cope better with "build world, build kernel, install kernel,
install world" than with "build world, fumble kernel, install
world" (three different! things to keep in mind). Don't know
if others have a similar experience.
On the other hand when scripting this sequence or strictly
following the doc (by means of a clipboard? :) it doesn't
really matter -- since one doesn't have to type it.
Oh, there might be one reason: Those admins with higher secure
levels than -1 might wish for a separate target in an isolated
time frame with writable kernel and module files.
