Yea, I'd be pissed too. :) The nature of the compromise over 'make world' was that rather than removing the knob we'd leave it undocumented so that new users aren't tempted to use it, but instead will revert to using buildworld/installworld as they ought to if they get a failure running 'make world'. If we are going to document the knob and thus make it user-supported, we might as well remove it and just make 'make world' user-supported. -- John Baldwin
