Most of my Debian machinery follows "Debian Testing", just as my Slackware boxes run Slackware -current. I prefer Rolling distros (Arch and Gentoo included, but more problematic wrt compatibility on production servers) - and rolling back aspects of the installation if some latest and greatest software version breaks something. Usually, that's only PHP, very rarely have I ever had issues, and as mentioned already, a quick rollback of the offending package, perhaps 'some' of it's deps too, always fixes things.
I had to get that out first and upfront. If I didn't then I would get all kinds of whacky responses.
So, is Debian 12, the current stable, supported yet? When looking in this forum I saw that Sarge and Woody are now supported - huh? That was eons ago, and should have, IMO, been deprecated and EOLed/upgraded a long, long time ago.
As far as Trixie goes, I wouldn't mind starting with the latest point release of Debian 12 and then rolling foward from there, but so little other than libraries and such that aren't critical to most components in things like Blesta and WHMCS occur, and even though the only problems I've ever experienced have been with PHP upgrades, that never broke a control panel or anything, only customer websites, and that can be easily rectified by forcing the PHP version for the people running software that doesn't yet support the latest version of PHP.
But that's a lot of info just to ask the question in the subject. By support, I mean has anyone run into problems? Not is that support official - at least when referring to Debian Testing (Trixie) at this time.
NOTE: I realize this is the Debian 11 topic, but there is no Debian 12 topic, and because I see so many people still running Debian 11 (Bullseye), I'm wondering whether there are standing issues for those people wishing to upgrade to Debian 12 (Bookworm) that is preventing them from doing so.
