It is also safe as long as the old kernel can run the binaries and
there are no gotchas lurking (like say a mount or mountd that takes
out the kernel when started).

The reason that I document things the way I do is for maximum safety.
It will always work, or it is a bad bug that must be fixed asap.  Like
I say in updating, often times you can get away with a lot of things
and be safe.
