No, I've been telling people to put both in. The reason is you may
have a bootloader or boot files (e.g PXELINUX) that only allows
changing changing the command line or you want to override/extend the
command line in the kernel.
I'm thinking the declaration should be combined into one to do both
since I'm getting tired of making this comment.
