Yes, but most of users doesn't understand it properly and they were just
confused with it. And it seems that such users use jessie as docker base
image, so it was not seen from them.

"surprises" from "LTS" users are not good signal. Such users doesn't
like changes ;)
- Can we prodives oldstable-updates repo until its LTS EOL?
Probably it's right thing to remove it at that time, but seems
that the loss is larger than its benefit.
- Removing oldstable-backports is good instead, if it can be
provided with several termination announces from channels
like mailing list, news, SNS, etc. How about the participation
from publicity team? (CCed)
We can do it better next time :)
