If that is why for 15.0-* and 15.1-* (non-armv7), then why are the
non-15.*'s exposed? For example:

https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:14:aarch64/base_release_0/

shows the list of *.pkg files.

Other than 15.* (non-armv7), all the

https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:*:*/base_*/

show each pkg (and more).

(It is understandable if this is to be avoided.)
