That's not actually correct. ``` % pkg info -D pkgname ``` will display the pkg-message for any package no matter how installed, or if there's a ports tree present or not. However, I agree in general with your position: pkg-message is something that needs to be used sparingly, and not to endlessly repeat either trivial or out-dated messages. The new UCL formatting stuff is an excellent improvement in that regard.
