If Squeeze were only mostly dead (i.e., unsupported but still
installable through official channels), not entirely dead, I might
agree, but it's entirely dead:

* you can no longer apt-get it from official APT repositories
* it's getting no security updates; for that matter, it's getting no
updates of any kind

Why should we "support" a distribution that is impossible to install
(in a conventional fashion)?
