This will apply to the stable release branches too, but that seems unavoidable: we use `nixpkgs-unstable` in `ci/pinned.json`, which means that the development shell for stable release branches is based on the unstable branch. Once we drop support for a system on the unstable branch, it can no longer be used for Nixpkgs development on the next pin, even when targeting already‐released stable branches. Since Nixpkgs contributors would generally be expected to be less likely to be using deprecated platforms, and we usually operate with a backport workflow where changes target the unstable branch first, this is probably acceptable. A potential alternative would be to pin the stable branch for CI instead.
