Although we discussed earlier about making the hard switch sometimes
after the branching of 2024Q3 however based on today's announcement
from re@ portmgr will complete this task before the final build of
14.1-RELEASE starts. This decision was made as the release dates and
this change are coincidentally too close.

As per yesterday's build the there are 557 ports failing and and 271
being skipped. The list of ports failing and skipped are available
from the same URL which is updated daily:

https://people.freebsd.org/~bofh/dropzone/manprefix-fail.maintainer.txt

And thanks to everyone helping us completing this.

Kind regards,
Moin
