    15.0R/relnotes: Add notes for commits mentioning relnotes, batch 5
    
    Add more content coming from RELNOTES.
    
    RELNOTES processing is now finished, except for the last entry about
    deprecated platforms which in its current form is outdated and must be
    reworked.
    
    Since my mail to developers@, didn't make direct progress on the result of:
    git log --first-parent -E --grep='[rR][eE][lL]([eE][aA][sS][eE][[:space:]]+)?[nN][oO][tT][eE]' origin/releng/14.3..origin/releng/15.0
    so was at about at ~25 commits from the start (in reverse chronological order).
    But now, all reamining RELNOTES commits can be skipped as they have been handled by copying and adapting the content of the latest RELNOTES.

 Systems which installed with pkgbase prior to 15.0-RC1 (if running `releng/15.0`) or November 15th (if running from `stable`/`main` snapshots) will need to remove the definition of the `FreeBSD-base` repository from `/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/` and replace it with a single line `FreeBSD-base: { enabled: yes }`.
