I wonder if people have tried going from 14-STABLE to 15-STABLE, so many base binaries dying due to not linking to the new libraries:

# /usr/sbin/pkg
ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libutil.so.9" not found, required by "pkg"

Was saved by pkg-static and then installing compat14x-amd64.

But upgrading from source via Handbook's documented routine (including make delete-old) did NOT work. And this used to work across major versions in the past.

#FreeBSD

Couldn't even rebuild the world due to env dying as well in a similar way due to libutil.so.9
But aside from that, running FreeBSD 14/15 on an Asus NUC 14 or 15 PRO works without an issue.
