In order to audit system for any new software or updates installed recently pkgng should probably add a timestamp for each package in local database. It could also help people maintain dependencies for apps not yet in ports or when creating a port.

timestamping provides a way of grouping packages based on time interval, different pkg-autoremove(1). Below example shows this piece of metadata was available but not in a very intuitive manner with the old package system.
