Agreed.

My take would be to mark it as unsupported after the trixie development cycle
has started (this flags awareness, but has no impact on stable releases)
and then revisit the support situation before the trixie freeze (Kea might be
a full replacment by then or maybe it turns out the patch support is ensured
despite upstream's EOL)
