Overriding - granted. I have been doing the same for years.

But on a fresh FreeBSD 15 pkgbase system the repos for
FreeBSD-ports and FreeBSD-ports-kmods are configured in
/etc/pkg and the repo for FreeBSD-base itself in /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos.

Or to put it differently:

Why does /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf *not* contain the repo for packaged base?

I think that's odd.

Kind regards,
Patrick
