Term Support (LTS) Team will take over security support.

For Debian 7 Wheezy LTS there will be no requirement to add a separate
wheezy-lts suite to your sources.list any more and your current setup
will continue to work without further changes.
For how to use Debian Long Term Support please read
https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Using
Important information and changes regarding Wheezy LTS can be found at
https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Wheezy
Most notably OpenJDK 7 will be made the new Java default JRE/JDK on 26

end-of-life.
