ACK, support hasn't been dropped officialy and Joey is doing a good job
patching 2.4.27 - and I'm the last one complaining about not riding dead
horses like old stable packages, as soon as packages can be backported from
sid easily. (In other situtations - no I won't mention the m***** word it is
different).
However, Imho users should be warned, that using woody is a security risk.
