No FreeBSD-set-base on 14.3i386

The 14.3 branch doesn't have UCL (universal configuration language) files to create pkgbase metapackages (FreeBSD-set-*).

Note the "sets" directory in branches 15 and 16 (CURRENT, aka main):

https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/release/packages?h=releng/15.0 .
https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/release/packages .

14 branch
https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/release/packages?h=releng/14.3 .

You have to use the i386 base.txz distribution file:

https://download.freebsd.org/releases/i386/14.3-RELEASE/base.txz .

So I installed the FreeBSD-set-base of 15:i386, I thought there wasn't a 15:i386 version before. But it seems 15:i386 doesn’t have pkg FreeBSD-ports. It’s too much trouble to set the ABI and OSVERSION to install packages of 14:i386 every time. Is there any good solution?

I discovered that I just need to use pkg -o to set the ABI and OSVERSION once, and then I can install packages directly with pkg install.
