Features like pkgbase are a non-starter otherwise. as far as i'm aware, the cluster doesn't use freebsd-update either, but that didn't make freebsd-update a non-starter - it's been the only supported binary update mechanism for years. so it's hard to see why the cluster needs to use pkgbase in order for pkgbase to be viable. the cluster has very specific needs (they even have cluster-specific build options in src) which are different from the majority of FreeBSD users that pkgbase is aimed at. of course, i would *like* the cluster to use pkgbase, because it's a lot more flexible (and easier to deploy) than freebsd-update was, to the point that it can replace deployment from src for a lot of users, and the cluster would be a good test case for that. but that's not a requirement to ship pkgbase.
