What I'm ultimately looking for, is a method of transforming
a pkgbase system into a not-pkgbase one, that upgrades
in the traditional source-based way.

I cannot find instructions so far on how to do this.
Maybe that's because it's so new?

So far, when building the system, after initially installing 
kernel and world with DESTDIR=/ due to being prompted for it
as mentioned earlier, on rebooting and repeating the process
it no longer prompts for this.

But I wonder if this is because I didn't clear out /usr/obj
and update sources further and start afresh. This'll be the first 
test.

In /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD-base.conf I've set 'enabled: no'
I notice that
% pkg info | sort | grep FreeBSD- | wc -l
      216

At what stage of the buildworld/installworld process or even after it
can I remove all the Freebsd-* packages ?
