Remember to remove old files and libraries with `make delete-old' and

It is advisable to remove and install your ports from scratch when
upgrading to a new major version, because the automatic port updating
tools don't always do this correctly.
Not meaning to pick on Roland here... but surely we should be
recommending to follow the instructions in /usr/src/UPDATING? (as the
documentation page also mentions), rather than our own abbreviations
thereof?
The only source of confusion then is whether to define ALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE
whilst building/installing a kernel (as Chris mentions) - which is
probably worth clarifying (never do it myself...and never had issues,
but UPDATING is a little ambiguous on that point).
