I recall a similar personal assurance, once.  We should start a
big signing club or something.  ;-)

I actually managed to run into two of the directory trashing
bugs, but after the first one I learnt my lesson and always ran
pkg_add(1) in an empty dir, so the 2nd was pretty harmless.
[Never did report that 2nd either, come to think of it].  

That's what the backup switch on your hdd is for, folks! :)
