right now i don't believe there are any plans to change that.  i suppose
it might change in the future.  usually people want to build both the
world and the kernel, so this isn't an oft-requested feature.

could you elaborate on why you want to build world but not kernel?
this would help inform development efforts in that area.

'update-packages' will copy unchanged packages from the previous build
to the current build, which means if only a small number of packages
have changed, the system won't try to update every package.
