First, this is 100% independent of the kernel, so we don’t have any ‘forward / back’ issues with that, correct? Next, If I reinstall an older version of FreeBSD, it will create the database that’s appropriate for 1.13, and vice versa, so it shouldn’t be visible to the user. What happens if I upgrade and then add/delete packages, including upgrade, add packages, downgraded? Is there a dependence on which pkg version you are using? If the answers to these questions are approximately “yes”, “shouldn’t matter / does the right thing”, “won’t be an issue because recreation sets the right format and installworld will update the database with the right things as part of that” and “doesn’t matter” then I’d agree that this is an uninteresting detail and need not be preserved.
