One of the reasons to migrate is to avoid future pain (pain is an excellent motivator -- it's why we don't go to the doctor when we're healthy, right? ;) If getting new or updated modules becomes more painful then that's motivation to upgrade -- not motivation for us to make both our lives (with the extra work) and everyone's else lives (why isn't this module working? oh, wrong compiler) more difficult. -- ~Ethan~
