'keep' is about a package being actively desired.  "pkgin ar" will
remove packages if a) they are not actively desired and b) they are not
a dependency of some package that is being kept.

So if you don't actually want it, uk it.  If it's needed because of
something you do want, it will stay.

I probably should have python311 marked keep on a few systems because I
run scripts outside of pkgsrc, but I have e.g. py311-paho-mqtt marked
keep (because the script uses that) so I don't mark python.

Correct; it doesn't need one.  However you can make one by creating a
summary file from the binary packages you have created (since of course
you keep them :)

  # regenerate for pkgin
  pkgsum () { ls *gz | xargs pkg_info -X | bzip2 > pkg_summary.bz2; }

No, I suggest making a summary file from your own packages and pointing
to that.  Either that or ignoring the warning, or configuring no repo at
all and see how that goes.

If you have done uk, and then ar, this probably would have happened.

No, pkg_rr does not have any code to deal with multi-version.

yes, more hacking is needed to really fix all this.

I am just pointing out that uk/ar hygiene avoids a lot of grief.
