since portupgrade will be around for at least nearly
4 years (remaining life of 14) and perhaps longer if
it goes through the normal deprecation (15) and removal
(16) cycle.

You seem to be confusing procedures for:

https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/

and the related branch and release handling with the
procedures for:

https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/

and port depreciation.

ports-mgmt/portupgrade is not part of FreeBSD and FreeBSD,
of itself, makes no use of ports-mgmt/portupgrade . Similarly,
the FreeBSD package builders do not use ports-mgmt/portupgrade .
No FreeBSD infrastructure uses ports-mgmt/portupgrade as far
as I can tell. ports-mgmt/portupgrade is not part of any FreeBSD
release and not required by any either.

Mentioning or describing a port's use in the handbook or
elsewhere does not change that status unless explicitly
indicated somewhere or the port having the status of
FreeBSD or its infrastructure directly using the port.
