Overriding base FreeBSD-base repository config with a config file located in

Overriding - granted. I have been doing the same for years.
But on a fresh FreeBSD 15 pkgbase system the repos for
FreeBSD-ports and FreeBSD-ports-kmods are configured in
/etc/pkg and the repo for FreeBSD-base itself in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos.
Or to put it differently:
Why does /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf *not* contain the repo for packaged base?
I think that's odd.
It is, otoh. we're on Alpha/Beta...
I guess this will change.
In a recent Reply Collins noted that the package signing infrastructure
for the base repository wasn't ready... so for the release, some more
things will change. Just a wild guess though...
Best,
