>> We know that 'pkg delete -afy' will delete all PKGBASE
>> packages without asking ... but that will also render
>> ZFS Boot Environments USELESS as there is no
>> loader(8) anymore to show the ZFS boot menu for BE
>> selection.

> OK ls boot
> boot
>  d  zfs
>  d  efi
>     loader.conf
>     entropy
>  d  firmware

> My proposal - always keep a MINIMUM set of files allowing
> to show loader(8) boot menu - so anyone - even after wiping
> their FreeBSD system with pkg(8) - will be able to boot into
> other backup ZFS Boot Environment.
