Or perhaps we should continue to use "traditional" for a potential MFC before 15.1.

I think in 16.0 we won't be shipping distsets at all, so this menu will go away. But I agree with changing the wording but keeping the menu as an MFCable first step. Ideally I'd like to call distsets "legacy" in 15.1.

Indeed - I'm just hoping to make continued incremental progress.

OK, so are you happy with this review as is then?

I strongly believe that we should making the claimed description a reality before adopting it. That is, there are known deficiencies with pkgbase where the current implementation is not yet at parity with distribution sets, and until those are resolved we should be honest with the fact that pkgbase is not yet fully ready for adoption.

Having said all that, at the end of the day we’ll just patch out whatever we need to in CheriBSD and keep going with distribution sets until the dust has settled on pkgbase, so if you tweak menus we can just revert it… we won’t even be providing the option anyway.
