RFC: what are the highlights of FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE?

＂In the 15.0-RELEASE announcement email, I list a few highlights. Obviously pkgbase is going to be one of them, but I'm looking for a list of 5 or 6 items, and I don't know what you as users care about the most.

＂So… can you help out your release engineer and tell me what you personally thing is the most exciting change in 15.0?＂
