I will note that no kmods_* has had a distribution update after
2026-05-21 00:00:12Z ( after 2026-05-21 00:00:11Z for freebsd:14:* ).
(I looked via https://people.freebsd.org/~dbaio/pkg-master-report.html
.) It does not appear that any stable/* is getting regular kmods_*
updates as the matching kernels update (or as the matching ports update
on the matching port branches?). That looks to mean no tracking of the
14.4 -> 14.5 or ports updates after those dates.
