Stable version of PVE, based on unreleased Debian version, with unmaintaned EOL linux kernel. Nice...
Well, Proxmox is basically a Debian with Ubuntu kernel.
The last recent upgrade was to 5.4 from 4.9 in Proxmox 6, nothing new.
Also, most of the Debian packages are already frozen, nothing wrong here.
However, I would wait for a bit until upgrading.
Thats funny because I just updated last night to the latest before this.
Where did you get that notice? @Sokaris07
Actually, in a Portuguese Tech Blog :P But if you go to https://proxmox.com you can see it in the news.
The text was copied from their forum
How other mentioned Ubuntu Kernel for the 21.04 and will be maintained by them till 21.10 , Plus version 5.11 is highly recommended

I think what RedHat is doing (using generations old kernel ) back porting only small parts to it is stagnating industry as 10 year period is too long
And Debian 11 has issue with the installer Proxmox uses their own one
