@sindarina With @freexian 's LTS/ELTS offer, we aim to provide security support for up to 10 years, alas it's a challenge that cannot always be met for all packages... in particular for packages that were a bit left aside during their time in unstable/testing (for example when a maintainer disappears).
To avoid releasing Debian with outdated software versions, and ensure all the packages used by corporate users are in their best shape and can be supported for as long as possible, we believe that pro-active monitoring of unstable is required. Freexian is going to propose something in this direction in 2025.
Recent case where we helped to avoid this: https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts/2024/12/msg00004.html
