Statler based on Debian Squeeze/OldStable. For the debian packages you get support till wheezy is one year old: may 2014
For the #!-packages ask the author of crunchbang.

My guess is that the Statler packages won't be updated much from now on. For config, menus and the like that doesn't matter, but if you're using a browser from the CrunchBang repos this could be a good time to switch to mozilla.debian or eg Chrome.

The Opera browser is a good option as well and only requires downloading and installing the initial deb from the Opera site.  After installation, the opera repositories are checked for updates during sudo aptitude update or sudo apt-get update.
