I believe this will be a much more difficult upgrade, as many things will
break in the upgrade due to the large version differences. We also have a
bunch of 7.2 servers, but dread upgrading them so if at all possible we
will stay within 7.2 updates as long as they are offered. Almost everyone
still running 7.2 and 7.3 are servers owners/users, so everyone wants to
avoid the problems associated with upgrade or making massive changes like
that.

I was wondering... is the project interested in having a lowly 800Mhz or
1Gb server with say 20-30Gb and anything from 128-512Mb RAM hosted? Reason
is that we can provide a free server or two to the project to test
packages or others if it may help keep 7.2 and 8.0 alive. Would this
sponsorship help at all, or is it just a lost cause anyway to sponsor
resources for this?
