pkg won't refuse the upgrade.  And at least if it upgraded, it
should not break itself.

Imagine a GUI-driven appliance being bricked.  There is nobody
who can tell it "fetch ports and build pkg to keep using it".

Don't get me wrong.  Automation around pkg is really good, though
that doesn't warrant it's perfect (yet).


Cheers,
