This should not be shipped. Removing all third party packages with pkg(8) nukes the system, deleting everything but a few libraries. Pkgbase should be handled by a seperate pkgbase(8) command. I belive that all packages that make up a traditional base should have a flag that only lets them be manipulated by pkgbase(8), while everything else can be manipulated by pkg, even though the new command is a frontend for the same system. I also belive that you should be able to add that flag to normal packages, for example if I want ftpd back. I also belive this would be good for stopping forced system updates when updating software, which is something I hate about Linux.
The subject line reminds me of <https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/2414>.
