That suggests that the current Debian Testing will be released (as 
"Forky") around the middle of 2027, not 2026, and that is when Trixie 
will become "oldstable". Oldstable is still supported by the Debian 
team, so Bookworm should get updates until at least mid 2027 and Trixie 
until at least mid 2029.

Raspberry Pi OS is based on the ARM build of standard Debian, with some 
Pi-specific content provided by Raspberry Pi themselves. There is a 
comments by Gordon Hollingworth of Raspberry Pi here:

https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/trixie-the-new-version-of-raspberry-pi-os/

That says:

    Debian Bookworm will be supported for another two years by
    Debian. We will release new Linux kernels for the legacy OS
    for critical vulnerabilities. But otherwise there won?t be
    any updates to Raspberry Pi specific packages.

There will still be updates direct from Debian, of course.

If you look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d (in Trixie, on a Pi) you'll find 
two files named debian.sources and raspi.sources; those list the online 
repositories that are used for updates. Most updates come direct from 
Debian.

I have a box running Buster (AMD64) and that still gets updates (must 
get around to updating it).
