This has the potential for many feet to be shot, given that up to now, 'pkg delete -a' would always leave you with a viable system. We already make an exception for pkg itself -- you need 'pkg delete -fa' to actually remove pkg(8) as well. (Note to self: this needs to be documented in the pkg-delete(8) man page.) We should have similar exceptions for the essential bits of the base system -- at minimum everything you need to boot the system up and install stuff from a package repository. We should also have a command line that will remove all ported software but leave the base intact. Maybe by adding '-r reponame' functionality to 'pkg delete'?
