I guess it should say: ... snapshot releases of 14.X, although 13.0-STABLE also receives weekly snapshots... but I assume the idea was to make a simple update.

One idea is to include shared/releases.adoc and use :rel-head: variable, so it won't be necessary to change this again.

[shared/releases.adoc]

:rel-head-major: 14
:rel-head: {rel-head-major}.0

{rel-head}-CURRENT --> 14.0-CURRENT

  • Replace ftp.FreeBSD.org with download.freebsd.org
  • Remove additional snapshot release version

Something like this:

For now, long-term development projects continue to take place in the {rel-head}-CURRENT (main) branch, and snapshots of -CURRENT and -STABLE are continually made available from link:https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/snapshots/[the snapshot server] as work progresses.

^^ Last part is based on https://www.freebsd.org/snapshots/.

Worth mentioning which committers group this is referring to?
