Not by Debian it isn't.

https://www.debian.org/releases/

Buster has not been supported by Debian for many years.

Buster LTS was EOL last summer. Note that LTS is supported by volunteers via a non-profit, not Debian (though they do a good job).

ELTS is paid support, again not by Debian.

Do look at Debian's wiki for more info on support timeframes, and what LTS and ELTS means.

I was meaning to write Bookworm. Bookworm is the last to support i386 kernel and is supported until June 2028.

Freexian is for-profit, and all the LTS/ELTS contributors are Debian maintainers, and LTS is part of Debian, while ELTS is publicly available too, but in an external archive.
