Agreed. And I want to point out that some subset of jessie is still maintained through Extended LTS, so while it's EOL from the point of view of Debian, there are Debian users who are paying third parties to keep a subset of jessie secure. They should still be able to use Debian's cloud images and enable the Extended LTS repository. https://deb.freexian.com/extended-lts > > They need at least go from anything easily searchable. > > I completely agree that they shouldn't be searchable.
