Right... I do not think they will continue for four years — Version 5 was supported long after 6 was out (even some time with 7 declared "stable"), but I cannot give you their policies clearly. > > Drupal6 and Drupal7 are different enough for upgrades to be a > > real PITA > > Isn't there any upgrade path at all? Upstream don't provide a way? What > do they recommend then? Right, there is no automated upgrade path. Their recomendation is... Well, do it little by little, and good luck! Now, if we are to kick Drupal6 out of Wheezy, sysadmins using it will keep it as a local package, so their functionality will not break. We should, yes, warn it's no longer supported. I don't have a clear answer on what should be done, other than to update D6's description inviting new users NOT to install it and to consider D7 instead. Note that I'm not the Drupal maintainer - That's Luigi Gangitano. Luigi, what's your opinion on this?
