            Bug ID: 289381
           Summary: 15.0 Release Notes - status?
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Website
          Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: erichanskrs@gmail.com

Without any context,
https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/relnotes/
could be misinterpreted as: "The official 15.0-RELEASE is here!"

Comparing it with for example
https://www.freebsd.org/releases/14.3R/relnotes/
I cannot deduce that 15.0-RELEASE is not an official sanctioned release 
version, whereas 14.3-RELEASE _is_ an official sanctioned release version.

In a manner similar like:
https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-stable/2025-September/003112.html

A list of changes since 14.0 is available in the 15.0 release notes:

    https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/relnotes/

Please note, the release notes page is not yet complete, and will be
updated on an ongoing basis as the 15.0-RELEASE cycle progresses.

it seems like a good idea to highlight its status (provisionary?) and add a 
link to the scheduled time table:
https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/schedule/


One of the noted changes that will take effect starting with a supported 
FreeBSD 15 is the reduced support duration from 5 down to 4 years, as was
announced on 11 Jul 2024 in
https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-announce/2024-July/000143.html

It seems like a good idea to integrate that (and perhaps other items of 
that email message) into:
https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/relnotes/
