Thanks for this information! It's strangely missing from the release and the comment in the /etc file.

Do you know how are the security updates propagated to quarterly branch? Are they backported till the latest Q release and shipped immediately?

Did you upgrade from a previous release? It might not have changed your /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf. I'm basing this off a fresh install.

And yes, my understanding is that the quarterly branch is supported for 3 months with backports of security fixes.

I haven't yet upgraded, just trying to understand it first. I've made a thread in the official forum, hopefully it'll get clarified. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/default-repository-change...
