Debian doesn’t employ anyone, it’s all volunteers.

There is a way around this. If you install the 64 bit version of
Bullseye on a Pi 4, you can install the same set of packages copy your
config files from the 32 bit version, making it work exactly the same.

??? why not just install bookworm and then adjust it to taste. If you
want ifupdown-style network configuration (which I do) you can just
install it under bookworm, edit /etc/network/interfaces. No need to
take aroundabout routes like installing bullseye and upgrading.
