I don't have any objection to any of this, but I think it might be nice to at least put in the text a) that a change in recommendation has been made, and b) why. Something like 'the sequence that includes "make buildworld/make installworld" is now preferred to the previously documented usage "make world". The latter skips some steps that may or may not be necessary in certain circumstances; the former includes all steps that are necessary in any circumstance, and is thus less likely to lead to unsatisfactory results.' mcl
