Here's an example of a beginning of a list in which no FreeBSD-* package 
is visible, because the scrollback in vt is limited:

True: a person might not imagine a FreeBSD package in the invisible part 
of the list.

Also true: the person using pkg to force deletion of all packages is 
probably the same person who did previously see pkg install FreeBSD 
packages.

(If you see pkg install something, then don't be surprised when asking 
pkg to delete everything.)
