Doubtfully. The world target is only useful for feed builders. There are
enough other targets available, including lots of task-, meta-, and
image targets.

That sounds like we always know which package is broken for a certain
combination of build platform and target platform.... we don't.

"bitbake -k world" will at least continue building no matter whether it
encounters an error or not, but seriously, if you are not releasing a
distribution with a feed, why should anyone bother with bitbake'ing over
three days to get 40000 packages?
