Factually
=========


12.2-RELEASE, 12.3-RELEASE and 13.0-RELEASE are: 

* release engineered
  <https://docs.freebsd.org/en/articles/freebsd-releng/>

* supported
  <https://www.freebsd.org/security/#sup>
  <https://www.freebsd.org/security/#model> NB the rationale.


Compared to 12.⋯: 

 * 13.⋯ and 14.0-CURRENT allow superior DRM. 


stable/13 can be used with: 

* graphics/drm-fbsd13-kmod
  <https://www.freshports.org/graphics/drm-fbsd13-kmod/>

* graphics/drm-devel-kmod 
  (DRM currently superior to graphics/drm-current-kmod)
  <https://www.freshports.org/graphics/drm-devel-kmod/>.

> merges to stable/13
