--- Comment #4 from Mark Millard <marklmi26-fbsd@yahoo.com> ---
Instead of being missing, the FreeBSD minimal kernel
likely is simply not supported under the criteria for
official releases yet. The official release materials
are not supposed to bundle or distribute unsupported/
experimental software generally.

One  must remember that 14.3 pkgbase was experimental
and was never set up to meet all the FreeBSD release
criteria for officially supported installations. It does
not form a good base for such comparisons. 15.0 is
the first release attempting more like the official
status for pkgbase. And for 15.0 it is only a
Technology Preview --which 14.3 pkgbase was not.

15.0-STABLE is not an official release either and can
have unsupported/experimental software (pkgbase in use
or not).

kernel-generic-mmccam: similar status for that kernel.

At least some of your "orphaned: base" list appears
to simply be base packages that no long exist because
the files were moved to other base packages for 15.0 or
the packages were renamed. 14.3 does not have several
base packages that 15.0 has because of the reorganization.
Tracing things requires tracking the reorganization.
