As already said Escuelas Linux wants BL6.0 on Buster for now. Considering the large user base of Escuelas Linux and the high percentage of 32-bit machines that the distro is installed on, that in and of itself is the point.

What needs does Escuelas Linux have that could possibly prevent Bodhi from releasing a Debian 11 based version?

Apparently software availability and stability. Alejandro Díaz took a look at the software needs of Escuelas Linux and the packages and PPAs available for Buster vs Bullseye and he suggested a release on Buster based on his needs. Also, consider the Bullseye release is still in a "testing state" and that security updates for the testing distribution are not yet managed by the Debian security team.

You would have to ask him that, all I know about his needs is what he expects out of the script to build the ISO and the installer.

It seems like that would be a complete waste of your time to work on that, unless you already have it ready from couple years ago or something, or you're planning on releasing the bullseye version shortly thereafter and you think doing buster first would somehow make that easier. Otherwise it seems to me it would be a complete waste of your time and theirs to make release versions of Bodhi and Escuelas based on Debian 10, why would anyone even want to use that now over the already existing bionic based versions?

Actually, by the time Alejandro Díaz told me that I already had a working Bullseye version of Bodhi 6.0. All except for a Debian installer and setting up a repo for the needed deb files. I had to redo the work on Buster and now have a gtk installer working on the Buster version. To redo on Bullseye and make a Bullseye-based 32-bit release would not require a whole lot, except I wish to redo and test the installer using python3 (it is currently py2).
As soon as Bullseye is officially out of testing, I hope to be able to promptly release a Bodhi 32 release with Bullseye as a base. As far as using BL6 with a Buster base on 32-bit machines that is up to you, those of you that need a 32-bit release.
