What is our plan for legacy numerics in Solr 7.0? Looking at the example configs in branch_6x, I see that they have been partially converted to the point field types, but not fully. The _version_ field and many dynamic fields are still using Trie types. If legacy numerics disappear from Solr 7.0 (since normal deprecation rules indicate they will be gone from Lucene 7.0), very few 6.x users will be able to upgrade to 7.0 without redesigning and completely rebuilding their indexes. Regarding Adrien's concern, if the index format doesn't change and existing analysis components don't do anything radically different, it should be pretty safe to fix minor problems and backport self-contained features in 6.x releases after 7.0 hits.
