   I?m not quite sure where you?re getting some of those timelines from,   
   but anyway, the relevant part is the the table giving release end of   
   life dates, and the EOL for bookworm is June 2026.   
      
   There is an LTS process, though, which looks like it?ll extend bookworm   
   security support into 2028, albeit that they don?t seem to have decided   
   on the scope for bookworm LTS yet (thought it?d be surprising if it   
   excluded arm64).

   Right. So Debian userland and the Pi kernel are still in support but   
   Pi-specific userland is already out of support.
