I agree. People forget why the '-k' switch is there for make. I
think that for most users who are testing -current, a simple make -k
installworld ; make installworld is sufficient. If the second
installword fails, well, now you've got some problems.
I think the only people who should be sweating over what is and what's
not getting installed are the people directly involved with the make
world / installworld. The rest of us should be using make -k
installworld ; make installworld if the first installworld fails. No
need to waste time trying to find nuances, because by the time you
find out how to do it, it would be time to do another make world. :)
I'd leave the nuances of installworld up to the FreeBSD developers.
