It will be great when it is rolled out officially. I don't know about -stable but in 11.0-release the pkg base code has a few very annoying bugs e.g. it overwrites user modified config files in /etc on pkg upgrade, but on an ARM system it's a huge improvement on freebsd-update. I'm curious how much the make meta mode helps with source updates on something like a RPI-3.
