To be honest I don't see why we need two tools that does the same job.
It will only be confuing to users as they won't know which tool to know,
in particular if they have the same set of features.

As it is now pkgutil can't replace pkg-get (try running pkgutil update
on a box with more than one outdated dependency). When pkgutil is
generally useful in *all* cases, I wouldn't mind a discussion.
