we already have a tool to convert a non-pkgbase system to use pkgbase,
called pkgbasify.  i don't think it's in base yet (there's an open
review) but it will be the supported method to upgrade to 15.0 with
pkgbase.

if you want to build packages, you run 'make update-packages'; if you
don't want to build packages, you don't run 'make update-packages'.
there's no need for a build knob for that.

building src will never upgrade any packages on your installed system.
you have to run 'pkg upgrade' to do that.

as i said, nothing has changed if you want to continue to use
installkernel/installworld in 15.0.  there's no need to set any
src knobs or change anything about how you build or upgrade.
