Thanks, that's a very pleasant surprise, is 
<https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/blob/master/FAQ.md#25>; outdated?

(Answered in 2012; 
<https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/commit/02f8a139532c32b63d21e36ebc67d3ca76a92813>.)

Is <https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/1845>; still, partly, an issue?

– pkg(8) deinstall and then reinstall of FreeBSD-runtime leads to wiping 
out `/etc/master.passwd` and `/etc/group` · Issue #1845 · freebsd/pkg
