<p>Drupal 7, which was released in 2011, was originally supposed to be end-of-life in November 2022.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>This would mean there would be no more Drupal 7 versions and there would be no further support or bug fixes from the core Developer team.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>However, in February 2022, support was extended until November 2023 with a potential for it to be extended by another 12 months, which would be announced by July 2023.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>There are still over 425,000 active Drupal 7 websites according to <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/usage/drupal">https://www.drupal.org/project/usage/drupal</a> - almost 100,000 fewer than Feburary 2022. That's still a lot of websites!</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Should support be extended again or should Drupal 7 be marked as end-of-life and unsupported?</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>If so, those websites will continue to work, and an argument could be made that there's been enough time to upgrade projects since Drupal 8's first release in 2015.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>That said, it's a tricky upgrade - migrating data into a new Drupal website and re-writing custom modules and themes to make them compatible.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>It's definitely work upgrading, in my opinion, as the updates between Drupal 8, 9 and 10 are much simpler and quicker, and don't involve large rewrites or data migrations.</p>
