FreeBSD-base being based on FreeBSD:15:amd64/base_latest
means, in part, when updated, would then be based on
(note the ?h=stable/15 text):

https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/sys/sys/param.h?h=stable/15&id=198ef2a31cee7dd256434ad6120d279d9bcc211a

Message from FreeBSD-local-unbound-15.snap20260101223705:

--
After upgrading local-unbound, the configuration file should be regenerated
by running "service local_unbound setup" before restarting the service.


After the above upgrade:

# uname -U
1500505

FreeBSD-ports-kmods being based on FreeBSD:15:amd64/kmods_latest is
also based on the same stable/15 to match stable/15's kernel at
the time. There is also a FreeBSD:15:amd64/kmods_quarterly . These
3 get updated builds twice a day that are normally distributed
that often as well.


For 15.0-RELEASE there are, by contrast, at this point:

https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/base_release_0
https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/kmods_latest_0
https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/kmods_quarterly_0

that are not updated twice a day but only rarely.

The stable/15 kernel need not be compatible with either
of:

https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/kmods_latest_0
https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/kmods_quarterly_0

That is why there is a:

https://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:15:amd64/kmods_latest

for stable/15 kernels as well.
