I am all for the Idea of considering PC-BSD FreeBSD's Officially supported Desktop.

I assume that is what we are aiming for here. one thing I am a little confused about though.

We're aiming for giving PC-BSD users a choice of desktop (at least that's what my PBI aims to do). We're not trying to change PC-BSD, just leverage what they have already created for people who would like a GNOME desktop.

Kris more mentioned to me once that, one of the reasons why portupgrade -ar would not work well on PC-BSD is because, hal was patched. I am not sure of the details. but could we pull this patch back into FreeBSD , so that portupgrade -ar would not mess up PC-BSD?

PC-BSD uses the ports collection at this point. The patch to which he referred was pulled into the official hal port.
