   That suggests that the current Debian Testing will be released (as    
   "Forky") around the middle of 2027, not 2026, and that is when Trixie    
   will become "oldstable". Oldstable is still supported by the Debian    
   team, so Bookworm should get updates until at least mid 2027 and Trixie    
   until at least mid 2029.   
      
   Raspberry Pi OS is based on the ARM build of standard Debian, with some    
   Pi-specific content provided by Raspberry Pi themselves. There is a    
   comments by Gordon Hollingworth of Raspberry Pi here:   
      
   https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/trixie-the-new-version-of-raspberry-pi-os/   
      
   That says:   
      
       Debian Bookworm will be supported for another two years by   
       Debian. We will release new Linux kernels for the legacy OS   
       for critical vulnerabilities. But otherwise there won?t be   
       any updates to Raspberry Pi specific packages.   
      
   There will still be updates direct from Debian, of course.   
      
   If you look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d (in Trixie, on a Pi) you'll find    
   two files named debian.sources and raspi.sources; those list the online    
   repositories that are used for updates. Most updates come direct from    
   Debian.   
      
   I have a box running Buster (AMD64) and that still gets updates (must    
   get around to updating it).

     Daniel.
