Does it depend on who you ask?

The answer to "Should Drupal 7 support be extended again?" might depend on who you ask.

If you ask a Developer or agency, the answer would likely be that it shouldn't be extended again, and D7 should be sunsetted.

Clients and end-users who haven't yet upgraded would likely say it should be extended.

But if it's extended - and maybe again next year and the next - where's the incentive to upgrade?

Some people won't upgrade regardless and will continue until their site breaks.

That would be messy (and costly) to fix, though!
