To begin, all automatically-installed packages which had no dependents were
removed with 'pkg_delete -R ...'.

Next all outdated packages were updated with 'pkg_rolling-replace' (with
"-Xpy313-Pillow" when it became a problem.

Lastly, all packages for which OS_VERSION didn't match (11.0_BETA vs
11.0_RC2) were replaced (marked w/'pkg_admin set rebuild=YES ...' and
'pkg_rolling-replace' run again).

I didn't run "check", but did have to run "rebuild" and "rebuild-tree"
when a dependency of 'vlc' complained about not finding an older version
of 'vlc' than was already installed.

I usually run with just "-u" and fix things as they occur.

I've updated my package trees this same way for years with no problems
that weren't immediately obvious (usually pkg_rr following a rabbit hole
and trying to package-install updated dependencies for its target package
or when PYTHON_VERSION_DEFAULT changes and 'itstool' is temporarily broken.
(I've also had to scan packages for vestiges of old python versions and
mark them for rebuilding...)
