mips64le packages are not built.

There is no hardware, no build cluster, no pkg builder to do it.

BTW, a pkg builder is a real person who cares enough to observe and
control this during the entire 6-month-cycle for the snapshots, so
that release packages are great.  Speaking of other architectures you
probably also use, have you thanked your the pkg builder for the
architectures you care about recently?

I am going to toot their horn a little.

These are the people who build the packages:

alpha           phess...@openbsd.org
amd64           na...@openbsd.org
arm             phess...@openbsd.org
hppa            piro...@openbsd.org
i386            st...@openbsd.org
mips64          v...@openbsd.org
mips64el        p...@openbsd.org
powerpc         lan...@openbsd.org
sparc64         lan...@openbsd.org

Now that we don't do CDs anymore, the release process is expedited
with less "time shear" pressure on the build group.

The ones you see are the first architectures to finish build.  As each
other architecture finishes, their packages will be signed and arrive
on the mirrors automatically.

That will probably work.  The ABI didn't change much in the 4 weeks
before release.
