--- Comment #3 from Alan Somers <asomers@FreeBSD.org> ---
Here is my plan:

* make pkgbase be the default going forward.  Anybody wishing to install with
legacy distsets must set PKGBASE="no" in their installerconfig file. 
usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/script will check for that variable, and if set,
call "bsdinstall pkgbase --non-interactive" 

* Add a "--non-interactive" option to usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/pkgbase.in . 
When set, pkgbase.in will not call bsddialog for user input.  Instead, it will
select components based on the DISTRIBUTIONS environment variable.

I plan to implement this in time for 15.1-RELEASE .
