A person to write that article needs detailed knowledge of pkg and the
Linux package systems. I don't have that, but would be willing to help
you develop an outline for the article. Having a design like that makes
it easier to write when time and resources are available.
Writing "an article" is hard. Writing a small section on how deleting
packages is different between pkg and, say, apt, is much easier. The
scope is known.
