Is there a reason why the pkg(1) commands don't
do a privilege check prior to performing a
command?

For example, during image-update if you forget
the pfexec prefix it will go through the entire
time consuming download phase then bomb out do
to lack of privileges.

Why don't we check the privileges before the
download?

Other privileged pkg(1) and beadm commands have
similar issues.

Cheers,
Jim
