Solved When will quarterly be updated?

Some possibilities I can think of for now:
  1. Some kmod ports I'm not using are still failing to load on main (aka 16-Current) as of PR 207898 but not listed there in "Depends on:" part.
  2. Waiting for Python 3.12 to be default (exp-run: PR 285957).
  3. Waiting for Cython3 to be default (PR 289075 without official exp-run).
There could be more I'm overlooking.

Note that x11/nvidia-kmod{-devel} part related with 1. is finished at commit ports 1587486a39ec.
 
Note that switching default Python directly to be 3.13 (skipping 3.12) is officially rejected by pkgmgr, as of past experiences, on PR 292105, precisely, comment #4.

Exp-run and fixes (if needed) for 3.13 would be started after some point 3.12 become default and runtime issues reports are addressed.
(Exp-run does full build tests, but not full run tests.)
 
If any fundamental things (not limited with Python) keep 100% backward compatibilities, there would be no need for exp-run and fixes.

At worst, if an option to specify the behavior 100% matching with the specified version exists, temporal fixes after exp-run can be to specify the option for previous default should be sufficient (and can give maintainers affected time to investigate acutal fixes) and would be able to be semi-automated.
