Sure, but are there some serious/expensive maintaining efforts continuing support Debian 7?
Or is it an approach to kick Debian from list of supported distributions for (above?) reasons?

Since I run some build instances on a Debian 7 machine which is not going to be upgraded that
soon (don't want Debian 8, but don't want to reinstall from scratch and migrate my Xen VM's ...),
dropping support for "it's just time to move on" is more a Desktop philosophy, not for embedded/datacenter
approaches ...

Cheers
