Does anybody really believe

  pkg_add should fail to add an 8.0 package on an 8.1 machine?

we have a rule that 8.0 and 8.1 are ABI compatible.

I can see the point that osabi is perhaps bigger than what's covered by
the rule, and that one might want to be more careful, but I don't see
that it's helpful to users to fail by default on a mismatch within a
stable branch.
