The level of adoption matters, and is potentially quite different. A newer cloud platform, or one that was not supported by Debian, might not have any users of jessie at all. So the matter is irrelevant to them. The specifics of this issue relate to the discoverability and presentation of the jessie AMIs in the AWS Marketplace. Different cloud providers may have different systems with different behavior. For example, there may be other ways to indicate that a release is deprecated while still letting it show up in search results. I do not want to have to cater to the lowest common featureset. I want to use the mechanisms provided by the cloud provider in the native way. noah
