    What needs to happen is that some core illumos-omnios packages need to always update regardless of "-r".  Rich Lowe gave me a suggested set of diffs:

    I may need to include those going forward.

    .  .  .

    It seems, however, the general consensus is "Yeah, let's not make -r implicit, and document the new behavior."

    I'm okay with this, especially given how it behaves with "pkg update -r <specific-package>".

    Thank you everyone!
