I learned a long time ago that learning by rote is not very effective. If I understand the reasoning and concepts behind a set of instructions, I am much more likely to do it right. I've also learned that I am fairly good at writing tutorials and, like you, I don't every remember seeing the whole thing annotated, although I'm sure that everything I mentioned has been posted at one time or another by Werner Losh, Mike Smith, and others back in the early 4.0 days when the new build procedure was established and details of the /usr/src/UPDATING file changed on an almost daily basis.
