--- Comment #4 from Terry Kennedy <terry-freebsd@glaver.org> ---
(In reply to Mark Millard from comment #1)

True. But other than making pkg complain, portupgrade still works and is
documented in the Handbook. Someone could certainly float a proposal to rem=
ove
it from the Handbook for FreeBSD 15 and set the portupgrade port's Makefile=
 to
reject FreeBSD versions of 15.0 or higher, but FreeBSD 14 will be supported=
 for
nearly another 4 years (EoL November 30, 2028) so we should probably do
something in the meantime.

I didn't actually check to see which of portupgrade or pkg was more frequen=
tly
updated, but since the answer is pkg (which is what I opened this bug again=
st),
wouldn't it make sense to have pkg silently accept ".pkg" as a suffix (and
convert it to its default .txz format)?
