+Package views integration plan:
+==============================
+
+(1) Modify pkgsrc internals (bsd.pkg.mk & friends) to build and
+    install depoted packages if PKG_INSTALLATION_TYPE is set to
+    "pkgviews" in the package Makefile, and to add the depoted
+    package to the default view.  The depoted package will include
+    all of it's metadata files in the depot directory, and we rely
+    on pkg_view to copy the metadata files into /var/db/pkg as
+    part of adding the package to the default view.  We only
+    support the default view.  Depoted packages will install into
+    ${LOCALBASE}/packages and the default view will be through
+    ${LOCALBASE} for all packages.
+
+Using this infrastructure, depoted packages that have been added to
+the default view should look and feel like a non-depoted package in
+all respects, down to what you find in /var/db/pkg/${PKGNAME}, so
+non-depoted packages can depend on depoted packages without change.
+
+(2) Migrate non-USE_X11BASE and non-USE_IMAKE packages to set
+    PKG_INSTALLATION_TYPE to "pkgviews".  Depoted packages can only
+    depend on other depoted packages.  A depoted package will have
+    <deppkg_dir>/lib and ${LOCALBASE}/lib in the run-time library
+    search path (-Wl,-R*) so that wildcard dependencies on library
+    packages will still work (so long as the major number of the shlib
+    hasn't increased).
+
+At this point, all packages in pkgsrc except for those that define
+USE_X11BASE or USE_IMAKE will be depoted.
+
+(3) Make xpkgwedge the default for pkgsrc.  It would be nice to
+    enhance xpkgwedge in some way so that a package could be compiled
+    with the correct defaults for finding app-defaults files without
+    having the user fiddle with environment variables.
+
+This is a flag day change and will require bumping the PKGREVISIONs
+for every single USE_X11BASE and USE_IMAKE package and all packages
+that depend on them.
+
+(4) Migrate the USE_X11BASE and USE_IMAKE packages to set
+    PKG_INSTALLATION_TYPE to "pkgviews".
