Hi FreeBSD -STABLE users,

I've just posted the schedule for FreeBSD 15.1 to the FreeBSD website.  It's
the normal minor-release schedule (although given how 15.0 went I suspect it
will be a relatively bumpy minor release with more pkgbase changes landing)
with the release scheduled for June 2nd, six months after 15.0.
