   Yes, that's what I was thinking of.

   In the patch I put together, freebsd-base doesn't exist as a package;
rather, it's a placeholder name for files which haven't been put into
a removable package.  If these were going to be a package, it would be
called freebsd-base-core or something like that... but since the entire
point of this exercise is to make it easy to remove groups of related
files, and removing the freebsd "core" would render a system unusable,
I didn't see any reason to register that package.
