The "functionality" pkg(7) "lost" is silently ignoring unsupported
signature types which is dangerous if the network can't be trusted:
https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-EN-15:15.pkg.asc
https://www.fabiankeil.de/gehacktes/hardenedbsd/

If you absolutely want to, you can still bootstrap insecurely by
temporarily setting the signature type to none.
