First thank you and all who have worked to make this first release of
pkgng.  This is a great milestone in FreeBSD history.

Supposedly, pkgng will stay opt-in for RELENG_9 and will be the default
(opt-out?) on RELENG_10.  During the upgrade from the old branch to the
new one, how do we ensure users will perform the required step
(basically, run pkg2ng) to switch their pkg database to pkgng?  Will it
be a note in src/UPDATING and as well in the release notes?
