Does this mean using drm-next branch of freebsd-base-graphics src tree instead of regular src tree?

Or is drm-next a port, in the ports tree?

In that case, which version of ports tree should be used, regular or freebsd-ports-graphics?

I notice the GENERIC kernel config files have no line showing the date, making it difficult to keep up my custom kernel config and GENERIB.

GENERIB differs from GENERIC by removing drivers for outdated hardware unlikely to be found, such as SCSI cards and ISA Ethernet, but with added support for some wireless, expecially rsu, not present in GENERIC.
