My note about FreeBSD-set-tests was incomplete relative to tests
overall, it appears:

# pkg-static -c /usr/local/poudriere/jails/main-aarch64 info | grep tests-
pkg-static: Warning: Major OS version upgrade detected.  Running "pkg bootstrap -f" recommended
FreeBSD-tests-16.snap20250917014314 Test Suite
FreeBSD-tests-dev-16.snap20250916002513 Test Suite (development files)

I'll note that I'm trying to report differences in what is
installed in poudiere(-devel) jails that used to not be.
I'm just trying to avoid unnoticed additions from being
implicitly accepted.

I'm not objecting if the overall choice ends up being that
some of the additions are okay to leave in place. (I
might be surprised in some cases, but that is not the same
as trying to require a lack of surprise.)

As far as the choices go, it appears to me that such is
between Byran D. Baptiste D., you, and possibly others.
