This seems to also be an announcement of a change to what the 15.0
draft release notes ( https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/relnotes/ )
have said:

QUOTE
FreeBSD Update is probably not going to exist in 15.0-RELEASE! The text
below is boilerplate from previous releases and should be replaced with
instructions for using pkgbase once those are finalized.
END QUOTE

It would be good for the draft to have its "probably" status for this
switched at some point.
