Where would you want to start UPGRADING from?
The main problem I faced with the 5.1.0 version was not knowing how
far back to go... or what to count 'in'. E.g. something that was only
in CVS for a few weeks and no releases - should that be included?
Needs some thought for 6.0....
I think realistically to keep the work somewhat manageable we should
focus on providing disjunct steps.
4.4 -> 5.0
5.0 -> 5.1
..
5.y -> 6.0
If we find we have more resources to invest into this, we can inline
some of the hints from previous guides. However since we now have a
starting point I do not think we really need to.
Just to clarify.
Someone upgrading from 4.4 to 6.0 would then have to work through a ton
of guides obviously. I guess there may be something that get reverted in
between (like E_STRICT on var), but those should be rare. There could of
course be improvements to changes or ease previous BC breaks. So of
course there would be a benefit to provide specific guides, but the
effort is going to be huge.
Maybe we can provide each of the points in the upgrading guide online as
well, where people can comment on the relevance of the given point to
specific version jumps.

Lukas
