The Handbook doc on "pkg" is badly out of date

It now seems like the normal workflow for people who want to use "pkg" is:
- Hear about pkg
- Find the information in the Handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/pkgng-intro.html
- Install following those directions
- Get mysterious messages while following those directions
- Google the messages
- Discover https://wiki.freebsd.org/pkgng
- Make those changes
- Carry on
This seems kind of non-optimal. Can the Handbook be fixed to deal with the newer way "pkg" runs?
