From a user standpoint, it is confusing th= at running the command gets different results the second time it is run vs.= the first time. I can imagine a user saying "I ran pkg, but it didn't do w= hat they said it would. Now I run it again, and it does do what it is supp= osed to."

There may still be time to fix it for 9.1 if we can decide = quickly. no opinion on the name, but imho there should be *something* called "pkg" on a fresh system. Users will install a new system, follow some random how-to, and not realize they missed a step. If the default package errors with exit code 1 and says "run pkgbootstrap first" that is okay too. --=20 Eitan Adler
