All variables should be documented in pkg.conf(5) -- however, ALTABI is
missing from that page, which is a bug.
ALTABI is a compatibility thing -- way back when the ABI format was
changed, ALTABI was added as a quick compatibility shim, so that people
could access the old style of ABI easily and eg. plug it into repo.conf
files. Ideally it should have been deprecated and removed after a
decent interval, but has never happened. It would be worth documenting
simply to warn people against using it...
Cheers,
Matthew
