So do I.
One more hint: suppose you want to rebuild world inside the chroot. Then
you have two options with "make rerelease": one is to *not* use RELEASENOUPDATE
-- it will then use CVS to update your source tree (beware this doesn't work
if you ran "make release" with EXTSRCDIR). Another is to run "make rerelease"
with RELEASENOUPDATE and remove ${CHROOTDIR}/tmp/.world_done before doing it.
In any case, buildworld will be rebuilt with -DNOCLEAN, which should be fast.
To force rebuild of other stages, you need to remove particular files under
${CHROOTDIR}/usr/obj/usr/src/release/ (as has been already mentioned).
