The only exception to this rule I've run into recently was on an 8.4 
system, upgraded to use pkg, but where I had to manipulate a piece of 
3rd party software provided *only* as an old-style package. There using 
the pkg_* commands was a big time saver.  But it was still 
unsupported....and leaves me with inconsistent package databases.
