I'd expect "release" AMIs to remain indefinitely, yes. There's strong precident for this within AWS in general; it's part of the pledge to not break users. For example, Amazon's own Fedora Core 6 AMIs from the very beginning of EC2 are still available and usable in all the places, with the same AMI IDs, as ever. What I took down the other day (and have since reverted while we continue this discussion), was the listings within the marketplace. If you were already using the marketplace AMIs, they'd continue working, but you wouldn't be able to discover them using the search interface. It's worth noting that it's never been required that you use the marketplace. The latest AMI IDs are always shared publicly from the Debian account. You can find the details for those on the Debian wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/Cloud/AmazonEC2Image/
