+ FreeBSD 15.0 will not include support for 32-bit platforms.
+ However, 64-bit systems will still be able to run older 32-bit
+ binaries.
+
+ Support for executing 32-bit binaries on 64-bit platforms via
+ COMPAT_FREEBSD32 will remain supported for at least the
+ stable/15 and stable/16 branches.
+
+ Support for compiling individual 32-bit applications via
+ `cc -m32` will also be supported for at least the stable/15
+ branch which includes suitable headers in /usr/include and
+ libraries in /usr/lib32.
+
+ Support for 32-bit platforms in ports for 15.0 and later
+ releases is also deprecated, and these future releases may not
+ include binary packages for 32-bit platforms or support for
+ building 32-bit applications from ports.
+
+ stable/14 and earlier branches will retain existing 32-bit
+ kernel and world support. Ports will retain existing support
+ for building ports and packages on 32-bit systems on stable/14
+ and earlier branches as long as those branches are supported
+ by the ports system. However, all 32-bit platforms are Tier-2
+ or Tier-3 and support for individual ports should be expected
+ to degrade as upstreams deprecate 32-bit platforms.
+
+ With the current support schedule, stable/14 will be EOLed 5
+ years after the release of 14.0. The EOL of stable/14 would
+ mark the end of support for 32-bit platforms including source
+ releases, pre-built packages, and support for building
+ applications from ports. Given an estimated release date of
+ October 2023 for 14.0, support for 32-bit platforms would end
+ in October 2028.
+
+ The project may choose to alter this approach when 15.0 is
+ released by extending some level of 32-bit support for one or
+ more platforms in 15.0 or later. Users should use the
+ stable/14 branch to migrate off of 32-bit platforms.

The lua-flavored loader(8) will now interpret .lua files that appear in
loader_conf_files as lua, and execute them in a sandbox. Existing
