There will be no changes in the kernel makefiles in terms of building the kernel. Packages will be delivered to a repo rather than being created on disk.... If the type IDs in genunix change, I assume its elfhash changes. Likewise, if the dependent modules change, their elfhashes will change as well. All the bits that changed as the result of this build will appear in the same package updates. Eg if the build produced a different genunix, disp and devfs, those three modules will appear as different in the next rev of the core kernel package(s), and always will be installed as a unit. The model of picking and choosing kernel components generated over various builds from the past two years will be a thing of the past.
