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.

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