Are you picky about debug-builds ( main [so 14] ) vs. non-debug
builds ( stable/13 or releng/13.0 based )?

Also, are you picky about sysutils/rpi-firmware already being
up to date in what you get vs. your having to replace the files
with files from a recent sysutils/rpi-firmware build?

Technically I've no clue how to know what sysutils/rpi-firmware
vintage or sysutils/u-boot-rpi4-arm64 vintage would be used in
future builds on the FreeBSD build servers. The FreeBSD commit
hash/id does not identify that information in any way that I
know of. For past builds, as far as I know one must examine the
files contained and back trace the vintage that they came from.
Nothing reports what it takes to reproduce the context that I
know of. Such points seem to be involved for all media-builds
that have sysutils/* materials providing some the media content.
