The real pain is that there doesn't seem to be a way stop users from
upgrading before they actually do it.

I think what'll happen is that sometime tomorrow I'll add an option
to newvers.sh to detect a cross version change and have the world
and installworld and installkernel targets check and prompt unless
something like EARLY_ADOPTER=YES is set in make.conf or you're
building a 'release'.

Would that be ok?
