They have remained with only unstable support since then, which indicates that they are essentially moribund. Re-emerging from ports is infeasible for a purely legacy architecture. > > I dont know what the file is but it says > debian-12.0.0-alpha-NETINST-1.iso 2023-05-16 09:04 > > debian 12 is the latest release of debian AFAIK That does not render alpha to be a release architecture of Debian or to be part of Debian. It is only available on ports which means no stable releases, no security support, nothing. Architectures moving to ports never made it back as an official supported architecture (at least during the last 10 years that I was involved with the project).
