The easiest way to check that would be using the 1st command you mentioned
`pkg_add -uviargs, then after that do the `pkg_add -D snap args` and see if
anything changes because there would be no change.
I do `pkg_add -D snap` as if I recall correctly it is required 1. after
upgrading to -current and 2. after upgrading to a major version (7.5->7.6), but
I might be wrong.
Also another way to check is by running `pkg-add -u` 3 times in 3 days, and,
well there should not be many changes as packages don't really get updated that
often in the stable branch.
Cheers!
