You could maybe make that assumption, but it's not really that easy; the ABI ("FreeBSD:15:amd64") is encoded in each pkg itself along with a FreeBSD_version annotation for the exact version from sys/param.h at the time of the build. You'd also have new failures from bad version checks that will be ignored because we just copied the previous version's set, which then gets a bit confusing if we suddenly lose them in an actual -CURRENT build ("Well, we had 16-CURRENT packages for them before, why don't we now?").
