--- Comment #6 from Vick Khera <vivek@khera.org> ---
The process that builds 15-STABLE makes the minimal kernel package. The package
was there for 14.2 -> 14.3 upgrade via pkgbase also.

Forgive me if I don't buy that reasoning that it is not built because of the
installer. The installer can just ignore it like it does the debug kernel.

As for the orphaned packages, other packages get deleted by pkg, so why not
these listed ones? Is there some way to tell pkg to go ahead and remove them?


Just because it is labeled experimental doesn't really mean we should throw up
our hands and say too bad, so sad. We can address the shortcomings and make it
work better. It will only make the future upgrades from 15->16 that much
better, too.
