pkg now has a mechanism to protect from installing too new package (aka packages
built on a more recent system than the system you are running on.

While this is great for ports this is a bit painful for upgrading base packages
when building on current

One has to specify pkg -o OSVERSION=1200055 to allow packages built on 1200055
to install on 1200054.

I need to figure out a mechanism to make this simpler to handle to upgrade of
base system while keeping this safety belt for users.

Any idea is welcome
