So, hopefully, that persuades people to move. If you’re on a hosted system, those things might all get updated underneath you and break you and you don’t know about it until you know about it … and then, it’s a fire drill. Now, the stick is that there is end of life not only for D7 itself but also the stuff under the hood, the things that D7 relies on. To me the carrot is it’s a much better user experience even on the admin side.

And then trying to peer at your phone to get in on the D7 admin side and input something – ugh.

I don’t know how many times back in the D7 days somebody would call up and say there’s something broken and you need to fix this one thing. Because even the admin interface is responsive. Now, the carrot is, even if you’re just a content admin, like you’re a site owner who may not know the first thing about code, you’re going to like the admin interface. I’d use the carrot and the stick analogy.
