@@ -191,6 +191,9 @@ can find out the current branch version with `pkg info`:
$ pkg info osnet-incorporation | grep Branch:

If you want to be able to update your system to illumos-gate packages, provided
by OpenIndiana, it's adviced to increment only last number of the branch

What if we make this paragraph say:

The example value of 9999.99.0.0 will effectively guarantee your packages will always be preferred forever. If you want to be able to return to using official OpenIndiana packages in the future, you should instead use a PKGVERS_BRANCH value that only increments the last number; e.g., if pkg info tells you your current branch is 2018.0.0.18230, you would use 2018.0.0.18231.

As markdown source, that would be:

The example value of `9999.99.0.0` will effectively guarantee your packages 
will _always_ be preferred forever.  If you want to be able to return to using
official OpenIndiana packages in the future, you should instead use a
`PKGVERS_BRANCH` value that only increments the last number; e.g., if `pkg
info` tells you your current branch is `2018.0.0.18230`, you would use
`2018.0.0.18231`.
