No, that's not it.
It is because code talks much louder than words.
This is kind of a silly argument here since the code change is trivial.
There is a potentially large impact on the system that merits
discussion. Moreover, there is a whole bunch of other code still needs
to be written to make this workable in production that depends to some
degree on what choices are made here: what does pkg show for these? How
do upgrades work? The installer needs modifications to use pkg instead
of tar. It's not clear what the migration path to/from a packaged system
is, since the packaging is apparently optional.
If it would help, I am happy to generate a patch to make the discussion
concrete.
