In general, if you aren't 100% certain of the implications of a series
of commits, you should always rebuild/reinstall both world and kernel.

No harm in asking of course, but it's better to be safe than sorry, as
the repercussions of userland not matching kernel can be pretty severe
depending on what changed.
