Thanks Martin,
We of course are in the process of migrating on from Jessie but due to LTS the timescales were deliberately left quite loose.
Re your timeline email - I think it's a good idea having such a timeline prominently reiterated. It certainly hadn't occurred to me that support for debian-cloud would vary from LTS but I'm learning that one does not necessarily follow the other.
As for LTS security support, we've found it to be excellent. The only thing I would say (which has been mentioned already) is it wasn't a particularly seamless transition as far as the mailing list goes.

Hi David,
My understanding is that removing the images from the vendors market places is to make the images less easy discoverable and to discourage users from spinning new instances from an old image type. I don’t know the exact details for AWS but my guess is those AMI IDs will NOT remain indefinitely but at least longer.
Also be aware that we will release Debian Buster hopefully in the middle of next year. Maybe it is time to switch away from Debian Jessie at one point... Rather sooner than later...
Best regards,
Martin
Thank you... so the amis themselves should remain indefinitely?
