What's wrong with pkg over ftp ?

Well, that's what I didn't understand. I was reading people saying don't use ftp, use http instead but you can't enter https something and have that work that way. I was taking their statement literally because that's how they wrote it.
 
Any such statement was talking about protocols, not commands. And fetch(1) supports more than just one protocol...

Furthermore, that's just about sane practice. FTP tools won't be removed, as mentioned multiple times.
