Dropping live image generation and testing for oldstable ?

Cross-posted to 2 groups.

Apologies for the multiple lists but this needs to be widespread:

Currently testing CD/BD and so on images for the Trixie and Bookworm
release. The question has come up:

The images team do not consider that it is worthwhile generating live images
for oldstable and testing live images for oldstable
with each new point release.

The likelihood of *needing* live images for oldstable is small and the
amount of testing is large. For the expected use case, does the
testing effort outweigh the actual expected use?

What do others think?

With every good wish, as ever,

For the team currently testing images for release.
