I can only venture an explanation. Once you have computed a good order
for upgrading via packages, you cannot accept that pkg_add ruins your
computation by doing things on its own. In principle you have a
global view of the problem, which is better than the local view embedded
in each package. Hence forcing pkg_add is the only sane way.
