 Actually, it IS out... as of yesterday.
https://www.debian.org/News/2019/20190706
So expect a newer Raspbian/NOOBS image in a few days, configured for the
"stable" release.

 Well, might also be time -- from the linked announcement Buster
"...will be supported for the next 5 years...", so Wheezy could easily have
fallen out of the support range... Confirmed on

https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

Wheezy support expired May of LAST year. Jessie is in "long term support"
until June of next year, Stretch will be go into LTS next year until summer
of 2022. LTS appears to be a volunteer team, and not formal Debian security
patches.
