No, it is ultimately the Debian cloud team that decides what gets
published (or revoked) where.
IMO we should not be taking down published images except in cases where
we need to for some compelling reason like legal obligations. Doing so
risks confusion for our users, or worse, outright breakage, and that
leads to lack of trust.
We shouldn't be actively promoting EOL releases, and we should make it
clear where we can (e.g. the wiki, the cloud service's marketplace, etc)
what releases are EOL, but we shouldn't break our users.
noah
