FreeBSD 14.3 is going EOL on June 30th

The fourth point release of FreeBSD 14 was released on June 10th, 2025, to bring several security bug fixes and other general improvements that were implemented since the last point release, which was v14.2.

FreeBSD 14.3 is now reaching closer to the end of support, which has been scheduled for June 30th of this year. This means that there will be no more security updates for packages planned for the future. You will no longer be able to obtain further security updates after June 30th.

According to the official announcement from the security team, this has been confirmed, along with the urgent warning that users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest supported release as soon as possible.

The following supported releases that will be after June 30th are:

• FreeBSD v14.4: Supported until December 31st, 2026
• FreeBSD v15.0: Supported until September 30th, 2026
• FreeBSD v15.1: Supported until March 31st, 2027

If you are still running FreeBSD 14.3, we recommend that you upgrade to the latest supported release so that you can continue receiving security updates and to keep your computer secure, along with other improvements.

Has anyone else found the userland upgrade extraordinarily time-consuming for 14 to 15.1-RELEASE?
