Re: [racket-dev] sticky: bad

I'm happy to enable sticky mode only when the `make' line is something
like

  make PKGS=... STICKY_MODE=on

Any objections?

 So, can we change things so that make in the top-level doesn't use
 stickyness? Maybe add a new target make stuck or something that people
 who like this can use and so we avoid unexpected state?

 What about a `make` target (maybe named `rebuild`) that remembers the
 previous PKGS setting? That seems a little less stateful, and would be
 perfect for the reasons that led me to ask for sticky mode.
