Wait... what?  Why should pkgng be in ports (other than now, while it's =
under development)?  I'd like to see it used for managing some of the =
optional parts of the base system and probably eventually replacing =
freebsd-update, not have it as another bolt-on that is not part of the =
core system.  Not to mention the bootstrapping problem if every user who =
wants to use binary packages needs to use ports to build pkgng.
