With Drupal 7's end-of-life date of the 5th of January 2025 quickly approaching, I've recently seen again a number of companies offering support for Drupal 7 after its end-of-life date.<\/p>\n\n
I've seen the same in corporate IT environments where they're running versions of software post their EOL date, so it's not only Drupal 7, but I wonder if this is a good thing?<\/p>\n\n
Is this deterring companies from upgrading if they know this is an option, or should everyone upgrade and we can move forward from Drupal 7 and other end-of-life software?<\/p>\n\n
