If you like, you can retrieve the discussions about those reasons in the -stable archive (a number of HEADS UP after July 10, 2000), as well as recovering the historic[al] debate that would eventually lead to the present method. You need to perform a buildworld in order to compile, as it were, your new kernel on top of it. There is ONE source tree; kernel and userland are designed "holistically", ie they are thought of as a harmonious whole. Albeit source updating is not a very difficult task, it is NOT exactly a child's play: you are supposed to be careful, and to read the docs and the mailing archives. And yes, sometimes the world does not even build, or, if it builds, it doesn't work correctly (cf eg the reports posted in the past few days). As you may have noticed, these problems are usually fixed within few hours/days. Needeless to say, if you don't update your sources (ie if you don't cvsup), you can safely use the classical kernel build sequence (config [-r], make depend, make, make install).
