Um, the point of turning FTP_PASSIVE_MODE on by default is that it's
not just one "client" which uses it.  The ftpio(3) library uses it,
for one, and hence pkg_add, sysinstall and fetch do too.  I can count
at least 4 "ftp programs" here which would all need to be changed
independently and I don't much like that idea during code freeze, even
if you could convince me that it was a good idea.
