This is correct. The change allows us to have a single 'upgrade' target
that builds the world, builds the kernel, installs the kernel, installs
the world, perform various other upgrades and finally end with a reboot
(not necessarily in this exact order, although ending with a reboot
seems kind of mandatory :-)
The advantage of the change is also that it allows installworld to be
run with -j > 1. We now simply never run what we install and thus avoid
race conditions...
