Upgrading from D6 to D7 can be difficult.  The main reason is the use
of 3rd party modules:

* Some of the 3rd party modules for D6 got included in D7 core, but with
  variations or only partial functionality...  so data doesn't
  necessarily transfer easily.

* Similarly, some of the in-core D6 functionality got migrated to these
  new modules in D7 but the upgrade path isn't clean and bug-free.

* Some common D6 3rd party modules and themes don't yet have a stable D7
  release.

I spent a whole day a couple of weeks ago trying to upgrade a
complicated site from D6 to D7 but I had to roll back when I couldn't
find a way forward.  More research and thinking means that I think I
know a way past the thing that blocked me...  but that doesn't mean
I'll be able to get all the way through next time.  I might still need
to roll back.  So it would be nice to have D6 around.  :-)

Looking at Drupal bugs suggests that I'm not the only one in this
situation...  :-(

peace & happiness,
martin
