Debian 11 is now "oldoldstable" and under community LTS support until
August 2026[1]. It is not covered by the Debian Security team and any
fixes are best-effort only by the LTS community.

Debian 11 was released 2021-08-14, Debian 12 was released in 2023-06-10
and is the current "oldstable" whilst Debian 12 is the current "stable"
and was released in 2025-08-09.

We should shortly be testing on Debian 13. There's no real need to
continue testing our next release on such an old release of Debian, so
remove it from the tested distribution list.

Fedora releases only are supported for one year, so what should we do 
with all currently supported Fedora releases? We don't even officially 
support fedora-42 according to this document and fedora-41 will be eol 
in about 2 months.

See https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/releases/eol/

Cheers,
Quentin
