State of Provides/Requires

[Atomic Beef]

Hello,

I was wondering what the state of provides/requires was. I found a couple
of issues on Github that mentioned the feature, (
https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/1276 and
https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/805) but they are both over a year
old at this point. This is a crucial feature to binary package management,
not only because it saves disk space, but because it enhances security. For
example, any package depending on MySQL will usually choose to install
mysql56-client which is marked as vulnerable and will never be patched. Is
anyone currently working on implementing this?

Thanks,

Ted
