There are two separate issues here.
(1)  pkg help is missing documentation about bootstrap
          -> "man pkg" documents bootstrap, but "pkg help" does not.  This
is a bug.

(2)  pkg help output is too long
        -> You can't escape the fact that pkg is growing and has a lot of
features.
            Consistently documenting them is important.
         -> Maybe pkg can follow the example of git.
              If you type "git help", it only lists a subset of the 'most
popular' commands.
              "git help -a" lists all the commands
