+#### Versions we'll maintain
+
+For images dedicated to Java, Node, Python and Ruby, their lifecycle generally works as follows:
+
+- If an image does not have a version in its name, we try to keep it at its latest stable version
+- If an image is versioned (like `workspace-python-3.12`), we'll support it until it reached End of Life
+
 ### 🎬 No upgrade planned
 
 ⚠️ These images are no longer being published, and are not planned for Upgrade:
