In this one particular case, I believe so.  I imagine that quite a few 
admins are still typing "make world" because that's how they've been 
upgrading their systems for the last decade or so and it usually still 
works.  If "make world" failed loudly, perhaps with a firm reminder to 
read /usr/src/UPDATING, maybe some of these admins would finally take the 
hint.
