Platform support is generally separate from RPMs but usually if the RPM
can't be provided, the OS has left general support itself, that's about
the only reason the OBS will remove the repository. So that generally
means no official support from me.

I definitely can't do binaries if they drop the platform.

That's more or less similar to Red Hat providing only super-secret special
support for years after the official EOL date, and that's generally when
support drops from me, so I would say that means officially, no, 11's not
supported any longer.

I'll update the wiki page.
