This has been answered elsewhere, but to be absolutely clear:

* 10.0 will ship with pkgng format packages.

* pkgng will be configured to pull via http from project
infrastructure by default.

* The project will not be providing pkg_install format packages via
any method for 10.x.

This doesn't stop third parties building and providing them
unofficially but my understanding is that they won't be on any project
operated freebsd.org sites.

Footnote... *.cc.freebsd.org are generally project operated sites.
