Er, but with that you've just begun to start calculating the end-of-support
date. The testing distribution goes through periods of being frozen, and
only then new stable gets released. And then a year after *that* does the
old stable release gets its security updates abandoned. So if we assume that
the next release happens late this year, that means the current version
will cease to be supported late next year.
