As far as I could understand, pkg will deal with the components
comprising the OS in the same manner as it does for the ports
collection. So the kernel, the userland, the sources and so on
will "become packages" for pkg to install or upgrade. This is
a similar approach to common package management on Linux, except
that Linux (as a term to summarize all the many distributions)
doesn't have an OS ("the base OS") per se.

You can already see this kind of development: The documentation
has become a package, and the package manager itself is a
package (separated from the OS, which only contains a bootstrap
loader for the real program). Finally, the installation process
could become a task of "pkg install", instead of "tar xf". And
a unification of the infrastructures could lead to additional
benefits (only _one_ system for both components - OS and ports).
