Using arm64 as an example, there is:

main-arm64
130arm64
130releng-arm64
122arm64

that show hash-id based Build names. "130releng-" prefixes
may be special to supporting the official release builds and
so not always the right thing to search for relative to 13.0 .

130releng-armv7 is more recent (2021-May-23 start) instead
of mid 2021-Apr . But it looks to be the first "130" on
https://pkg-status.freebsd.org with a hash-id based Build
name for armv7. That may mean it was special and that
130armv7 might be used later.
