If you are referring to bsdconfig's package management, it is not working anyway
HEAD as we do not and will not provides any pkg_install for HEAD via any of the
usual distribution process: http, ftp, CD.

Secondly if I'm properly reading src.conf.5 bsdconfig is not installed by
default, which means we have a non default code depending on a now non default
code, I don't see a problem here, should I?
