You might want to have a look at Debian's release schedule:

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases

Stretch will not go to oldstable status until Bullseye is released and
there is not even release date set yet for that to happen. Devuan's
release of Chimaera will be sometime after Bulleye becomes stable. No
way ATM to guesstimate when in 2021 that will happen.
