Dear Qubes Community,
Fedora 26 will reach EOL ([end-of-life]) on 2018-06-01, and Debian 8
(["Jessie" full, not LTS][debian-releases]) will reach EOL on
2018-06-06. We strongly recommend that all Qubes users upgrade their
Fedora 26 and Debian 8 TemplateVMs and StandaloneVMs to Fedora 27 and
Debian 9 or higher, respectively, by these EOL dates. We provide
step-by-step upgrade instructions for upgrading from [Fedora 26 to 27]
and for upgrading from [Debian 8 to 9]. For a complete list of
TemplateVM versions supported for your specific version of Qubes, see
[Supported TemplateVM Versions].
We also provide fresh Fedora 27 and Debian 9 TemplateVM packages through
the official Qubes repositories, which you can install in dom0 by
following the standard installation instructions for [Fedora] and
[Debian] TemplateVMs.
After upgrading your TemplateVMs, please remember to set all qubes that
were using the old template to use the new one. The instructions to do
this can be found in the upgrade instructions for [Fedora 26 to 27] and
[Debian 8 to 9].
Please note that no user action is required regarding the OS version in
dom0. If you're using Qubes 3.2 or 4.0, there is no dom0 OS upgrade
available, since none is currently required. For details, please see our
[Note on dom0 and EOL].
If you're using an older version of Qubes than 3.2, we strongly
recommend that you upgrade to 3.2, as older versions are no longer
supported.

8 to 9. "Suggest" I would understand, but Debian 8 will be supported for
another 2 years via LTS.
