+      # NOTE: The out-of-date package provided is from the FreeBSD 11 package repo.
+      #       FreeBSD 11 was EOL at the time of writing, 2021-10-08, so this test
+      #       will only run on FreeBSD major versions > 11.
+      #
+      #       This test might fail at some point in the
+      #       future if the pkg utility in a FreeBSD version > 14
+      #       makes breaking changes that prevents it from installing
+      #       older package formats.
+      #
+      #       If that occurs, the fix is to replace
+      #       `files/freebsd-release-manifests-20210413__FreeBSD_11.pkg`
+      #       with the version of freebsd-release-manifests from the oldest
+      #       non-breaking release of FreeBSD, update the
+      #       references to it in tasks/main.yml accordingly,
+      #       and update the minimum version number for the test,
+      #       immediately below.
