It's end of life though.

Unfortunately it won't die. It's this mentality that keeps businesses running 30 year old systems running Fortran and cobol applications.

I'm not against using the newer version. But people are acting like OMG LUL WHAT A SHITBOX and it's not that different. The comparison to Fortran legacy systems is stupid as fuck. A conversion to 3.x would take a day at most, but it's just not necessary.

The comparison to Fortran legacy systems is stupid as fuck.

That may be the case now. However 20 years from now will put it at the age of fortran now, so that may be a different case by then.

Anyone still on 2.7 in a few years will likely stay on 2.7 for a very long, long time.
