I'll note that tier 3 and unsupported are subject to (possibly) temporary
removal of ports-package files as a matter of resource management. Such
would be unlikely to lead to removal from:

https://pkg.freebsd.org/index.html

during that temporary time.

See:

https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-git/2023-December/000217.html

for an example that started yesterday for: FreeBSD:14:armv6
It was for helping deal with running low on some mirrors' free storage
space until FreeBSD:12:* files are generally removed after the end of
the year.


Note:

https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-git/2023-December/000218.html

is about possibly doing similarly with the FreeBSD:15:powerpc package-base
files as well, for the same reason. I do not know if they would actually
do such package-base removals.
