Baptiste's presentation a decade ago, before my time, included the end user perspective for upgrading the system:

pkg upgrade

Subject lines of the January 2016 update, and the March call for testing included:

pkg(8)

– and the install command was for installation. I imagined nothing other than the upgrade command for upgrading.

Approaches that are coherent are highly valued.

pkgbase, as originally intended, can be embraced.

Packages, tools, and conventions; with 'pkg upgrade' naturally amongst the conventions.

<https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-pkgbase/2016-January/000000.html>, first sentence:

… package and upgrade the FreeBSD base system using pkg(8).
