So the https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:*/ are deliberately
providing links that can not be used for anything useful,
such as seeing if any files have been updated (new dates/times)?

Is there some way to give enough notice to likely avoid
the kind of message that I sent? Otherwise people will
continue to be astonished by the result and ask about
things appearing to be broken.

Also: Is there another way to check on the status of
future pending updates to the files (new times)?
