This statement is confusing to me. I'm not sure why an upgrade is a downgrade, and why it's safer.

Thanks for looking it over @emaste, how about this?

i'm not sure this is actually accurate. it's treated as a downgrade because... that's how pkg treats it. perhaps @bapt could explain the reasoning there.

but regardless, we should probably mention somewhere that as a result of this, you should use pkg -f upgrade when switching from release to snapshot builds.

also, doing such an upgrade won't corrupt anything, it'll just upgrade the system. which would be annoying if that's not what you wanted, but no data will be corrupted.

remove all reasoning and simply state that this requires -f.
