Yes, please explain the status of pkg-get.  I have a complex UI front-end
that I use based upon pkg-get, so I have been reluctant to migrate to
pkgutil.  What are the ramifications of continuing to use pkg-get?

Also, could you explain just how stable "current/testing" is?  I see that a
bunch of packages were recently added, but I'm wondering just how safe it
is to update against this.  I really don't have a clear picture of what is
happening with opencsw these days.  Are there any plans for resuming the
weekly status updates for new and updated packages that Phil use to issue?

Regards,
