Retrofit for Drupal is here!

Retrofit: Running legacy Drupal 7 code on your Drupal 10 site

I have had an idea for a few years. It is the greatest yet worst idea I’ve had for four years. Some 400,000 Drupal 7 sites report to Drupal.org through the Update module. Drupal 7’s end-of-life is coming on November 1, 2023, and has been a continual topic of discussion. 

Tips & tricks

It’s important to remember that even small steps forward are still progress. Keep pushing ahead, even if it feels like it’s not making a big impact.
