FWIW, my source update from:

FreeBSD freebeast.catwhisker.org 14.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT #1194 main-n245061-c861373bdff9: Thu Feb 25 04:09:17 PST 2021     root@freebeast.catwhisker.org:/common/S4/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC  amd64 1400005 1400005

to:

FreeBSD freebeast.catwhisker.org 14.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT #1195 main-n245107-172f2fc11cc5: Fri Feb 26 04:01:22 PST 2021     root@freebeast.catwhisker.org:/common/S4/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC  amd64 1400005 1400005

this morning was quite uneventful.  I did nothing special -- just
the normal META_MODE build I always do.  Rebooted; started X11
(built under stable/12, as with all of the ports save x11/nvidia-driver)...
things Just Worked. :-)

(Above was from one machine; I actually updated 3 machines in parallel.)

Peace,
david

It is supremely disingenuous to claim a lack of jurisdiction, then     
proceed to participate in a decision on the same matter.
