> I think that this shows that the majority of users of python are on a version in security support rather than bugfix support

Not quite. The survey was open for 6 weeks, starting just one day after the release of 3.13 in October 2024, when 3.12 was still in bugfix, meaning:

2% pre-release
50% bugfix
42% security
6% EOL

42% is still a lot, but not as much as 77% if 3.12's 35% is miscounted as security.

(Oh, and these are only the Python 3 numbers.)

@hugovkHugo van Kemenade @glyph and don't forget we've extended bugfix releases by half a year for 3.13 and later, so it will have installers and everything for another year (until approximately the release of 3.15.)
