How many people keep running old name servers > when they don't mention it in /etc/rc.conf after an reboot? How many people do install such things from ports w/o knowing to toggle /etc/rc.conf? How many of those users know the OVERWRITE_BASE option? And how many of them knows that their installation will be gone after they upgrade once more their world (from binary, or from source w/o setting the appropriate switch in make.conf). And when their installation is gone, they are left with a "some kind of damaged" pkgdb (because of non-matching checksums). Questions over questions... and I won't speak for others, just for myself when I say I don't really like that option. Isn't even your port installation gone when you are upgrading from CD?
