I don't want to start any huge debate, but, this does make sense
to me.  Since I haven't seen anyone suggesting the opposite,
should we update section 20.2 of the pkgsrc guide to reflect
pkgsrc-wip as the preferred method (and perhaps put some more
details around it)?  If there's no strong objection (and if no
one gets to it first), I'll take a crack at rewriting that
section and send-pr it.

Cheers,
Chris
