I'm looking at making pkg install and pkg image-update do the
right thing wrt boot environments.  We're already tagging files that
should require a reboot if modified in the live system w/
the reboot_needed tag.  What I'm considering doing is making
pkg install and pkg image-update use this as the deciding
factor as to whether or not to create a new boot environment.
This way, a security update that only has a new version of
firefox won't create a new BE during image-update, but
pkg install ent...@116 would.

Do people want an option to force both pkg install and pkg image-update
to always create a new BE?  How about one to cause the operation
to fail if a new BE is required?
