Summary

These days most end users are likely using pre-built packages, not
locally-built ports. Thus be sure to mention this as an important case,
and put it ahead of ports.

This is simple, yet useful enough... being more specific may confuse users (just like me). I for one, do a pkg upgrade -y, however, pkg will recommend you a pkg bootstrap -f, but I never know if pkg-static is actually preferred.

It would be more idiot-proof to say that the user should run pkg upgrade perhaps.
