With respect to the recent EN-s and SA-s such as: https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-announce/2025-December/000217.html I'm a bit surprised wrt to package based FreeBSD 15.0 users. A packaged base FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE or 15.0-STABLE are officially supported versions. As to stable/15, AFAIK, a main advantage of running a packaged base is that it can be upgraded by binary patches whereas previous versions of stable/xx could only be updated from source. As to 15.0-RELEASE, a packaged base is ideally suited to be binary "pkg-upgrade"-d. I was expecting specific solution options mentioned by means of pkg-upgrading of base packages. Am I missing something here?
