Looks like 15stable-amd64-default (latest) is going
to be continuing to be updated via beefy17 until it
becomes based on a releng/15.0 build instead of a
stable/15 build.

15stable-amd64-default started an update, queuing
7587 port-packages for building. (Compared to 37060
queued for the previous run, which completed  36239
that it built in 91:27:10 .)

(This also means that beefy17 is no longer doing
main-i386-default builds.)
