The branch main has been updated by emaste: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/doc/commit/?id=456ad6e585422111a3a9f4f93bacfb10b0ab02fa commit 456ad6e585422111a3a9f4f93bacfb10b0ab02fa Author: Ed Maste <emaste@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2023-11-08 15:52:07 +0000 Commit: Ed Maste <emaste@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2023-11-08 17:59:40 +0000 SA/EN templates: drop freebsd-update i386 support for 14.x+ In 2021 we announced[1] that i386 was demoted to Tier 2 status for FreeBSD 13.x. We stated that i386 would receive support beyond what is specified by Tier 2 status and would receive binary updates for 13.x, as an exception to the standard Tier policy. We also stated that "i386 will receive reduced support inline with existing Tier 2 platforms for 14.x". So, now document that binary updates for i386 apply to 13.x and lower. There is a small nit here, in that we don't officially support arm64 on FreeBSD 12 in freebsd-update but have removed that caveat in this change. My original proposed text was Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the amd64, (on FreeBSD 13 and earlier) i386, or (on FreeBSD 13 and later) arm64 platforms can be updated ... gordon@ pointed out that this text is rather awkward. We did actually build 12.4 arm64 updates in the last set of SA/ENs, and the branch is EOL at the end of the year anyway. So, overlook the 12.x/arm64 quirk and document just the i386 exception.
