After a chat on IRC, it's currently already configured to no longer accept new uploads. I think it's confusing to release security updates after security support supposedly ended, but if the LTS team wants that I can look at renabling it again. > Ideally the switch to Stretch LTS goes hand in hand > with the deactivation of jessie-security so we have no downtime at all. Which downtime? Stretch already has security support; with LTS it will get /less/ support (only a limited set of architectures). Anybody wishing to use Stretch LTS later, can already use Stretch today with no downsides. > I agree with Emilio that (6) should be postponed for a month.

(5) and (6) will probably only happen later. Having a month or so between importing on archive.d.o and removal from security.d.o should be fine. Ansgar
