Is pkg ever going to have a variation of "pkg delete -a" that can avoid deleting PkgBase?

In a system/chroot that is based on PkgBase, a "pkg delete -a"
that is allowed to run also destroys the system software, not
just port packages. There is no way to delete just all the
port packages in a PkgBase based system as far as I can tell.
