Dear Sir or Madam,
Dear Sir or Madam, I would like to inquire about the official End-of-Life (EOL) date of Debian 12 (“Bookworm”), as I have encountered conflicting information. According to statements from the Proxmox team, the Proxmox Virtual Environment reaches its End of Life alongside Debian 12, which they indicate is in August 2026. However, the following official Debian resources list the EOL date as June 10, 2026: * https://www.debian.org/releases/oldstable/ * https://www.debian.org/releases/ * https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases#Versions_of_Debian_stable After contacting Proxmox support, I received the following explanation: “Hello Max, Please see the footnote at the linked page: "Reminder: the EOL date for the stable release is the date of the next stable release plus one year. For example, Debian bullseye ("buster +1") was released on 2021-08-14 so Debian buster's EOL is around 2022-08." Best Regards, Proxmox Office Team” The footnote can be found in https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases#Versions_of_Debian_stable This information (also referenced in the Debian Wiki) seems to differ from the fixed date published on the Debian websites. Could you please clarify which date accurately reflects the End of Life for Debian 12? Specifically, I would like to understand whether the EOL is determined by a fixed schedule or dynamically based on the release date of the subsequent Debian version. Thank you very much for your assistance.
