Then one must otherwise uncomment the MODULES_WITH_WORLD : or expect to really be flamed for using the old kernel building : method. Not quite what Kris is saying, but is a bit of a compromise. It is better for me to document one way in UPDATING than to be constantly changing it. We try to not need the proceedure there, but it will always work. It was developed as people cut their teeth in the 3.x -> 4.0 current (of the time) and has proven to be quite successful up until now. I try to mention in entries when it is needed, but there can be a lag between the event and the commit to UPDATING.
