What happened?

Getting warning:
##[warning]The operating system version this agent is running on (almalinux OS name: 9.4) is not supported on an upcoming update to the Pipelines Agent. For supported operating system versions, see https://aka.ms/azdo-pipeline-agent-net8.

According to documentation, it seems that indeed AlmaLinux is not on supported list: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/agents/linux-agent?view=azure-devops&tabs=IP-V4

However, as of October 2024, AlmaLinux is officially recognized as an endorsed Linux distribution in Azure.
What is long term support strategy?
