That argument counts only for changing revisions of delivered code pieces. But I can think of at least two cases where an 'make world' leads to a non-operationg system: a) named 4.9x vs. 8.x (in this case I may be wrong) b) fully replacing 'sendmail' by another MTA We are used to replace sendmail by qmail. (all sendmail components are removed from the system) But 'make world' insists on installing all the sendmail-stuff often resulting in a partly mis-operating system. It should really be possible to explicitly exclude certain 'packages' from the 'make install' process. It just might be possible now by struggling with the makefiles, but I don't want to modify the delivered build-environment only for being able to select which components I want.
