armv6 is tier 3 for 14.x : https://www.freebsd.org/platforms/

Would temporarily removing having:

https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:armv6/latest/...

files on the various mirrors until 12.x is gone be of some use?
(May be even removed on the original servers.)

(Just an idea, given the lack of guarantees for tier 3.)

https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:armv6/latest/... could be
repopulated after 12's materials are gone from the mirrors
(and other servers).
