Personally I'm doing it for the package upgrade UX, which I find better
with "pkgin ug" than iterating over all packages with "pkg_add -u".

On occasion, e.g. with Python version upgrades, I do a full reinstall:

    pkg_delete -ff '*'
    rm /usr/pkg/pkgdb/pkgdb.byfile.db
    pkg_add gw-base

where "gw-base" is a local meta package [1].  Meta packages are very
useful, but I do also have an Ansible playbook that attends to some
variabilities on top, installing a couple of additional packages and
adjusting configuration files as needed.

Kind regards,
+ Kimmo
