I need to apologize to Steve Wills.  I brought this up on IRC, and then 
shirked posting it here.  My concern was having two programs called 
"pkg" with decidedly different behavior.  Or rather, what appears to the 
user to be a single program that does not behave predictably.  I should 
also apologize for not looking at this earlier; I was planning on using 
pkgng after release, and only just now got involved due to 
documentation.

Alexander Kabaev's point about security is interesting.  Maybe a 
compromise would be for /usr/sbin/pkg to remain, but merely show 
instructions on how to install the pkg package.
