But there's nothing right with it, either. Is the demonstrated risk of people using it inappropriately really worth not having to type make buildworld && make installworld in the few cases where it's safe? I claim not. I run cvsup nohup'd and look at the output, but I'd would never trust that I'd notice a kernel interface change, and know when I could get away with not building the kernel.
