The main stopper for this is "we don't have guest addition 7.x".
Comment 2 Vladimir Druzenko freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2025-10-25 01:50:19 UTC 
I'm thinking of setting the EXPIRATION_DATE=2026-12-31.
Over the course of a year, we will definitely encounter all the significant errors, if there are any. And it will be easier to fix them if there are several ports with different versions.

Does not appear that pkg-audit(8) alerts on packages marked deprecated or past their expiration.
