Cherry-picking part of what you wrote,
> to ... upgrade FreeBSD-runtime... pkg deleted ... and reinstalled it, so all the etc files that it manages get reset to their defaults.

This is caused by FreeBSD-runtime being removed and installed, rather than
upgraded? It seems like this is a critical deficiency independent of whether
something is done with the solver or not - even if the user does something like
using override/force flags to delete critical packages we need to protect these
critical files.
