Note: General port-package builds being suspended makes
sense to me for the resources available. I'm not suggesting
for that to change. But pkg is rather special and became
so for a wider range of usage with pkgbase.

The details freshports reports for armv7 pkg versions:

FreeBSD:16:latest    : "-"
FreeBSD:15:quarterly : "-"

FreeBSD:15:latest    : 2.2.2
FreeBSD:14:latest    : 2.2.2
FreeBSD:14:quarterly : 2.2.2
FreeBSD:13:quarterly : 2.2.2

FreeBSD:13:latest    : 2.3.1

Can there be a way (other than local port-package source
builds) to have armv7 keep up with pkg updates for its
pkgbase usage for armv7? If not, mentioning the
requirement for armv7 pkg source based builds might cut
down on support requests some.


Note: The question is about general use, not mine: I
already build my own port-packages (amd64, aarch64,
armv7), including for pkg .

Note: I've less context for them, but:

FreeBSD:14:latest    1.19.1_1 :            powerpc64le, 32-bit powerpc
FreeBSD:14:quarterly 1.20.9   : powerpc64, powerpc64le, 32-bit powerpc
FreeBSD:15:latest    1.20.9_1 : powerpc64, powerpc64le
(n/a or "-" for the other powerpc* ABI combinations)

The audience for powerpc* is likely rather different
overall.
