State of pkgng?

[Darren Pilgrim]

Setting up a new server tonight, decided to do it up with pkgng from the 
start:

1. portsnapped a tree
2. installed pkg just fine from ports
3. added WITH_PKGNG=yes to /etc/make.conf
4. cp /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf.sample /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf

Then it broke:

# pkg update
Updating repository catalogue
pkg: http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:9:x86:64/latest/repo.txz: No address 
record

Reading the pkgng page on the wiki:

"As a consequence of the security incident on 11th November 2012, for 
the time being pre-compiled packages for pkgng are not available from 
any official FreeBSD repository. [...] Target dates for when service may 
be resumed have not been released."

Is that still the case?  Is pkgng presently a non-starter?
