[meta] Migrations into Drupal CMS

Created on 11 February 2025, 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

There was a question in slack about the plan for migrations, I couldn't find an issue in the queue so I am opening one.

There are two parts to migrations, for Drupal CMS it will probably need to work on both:

1. Having the equivalent content model and features to migrate into.

2. The actual data migration itself.

For the data migration, Drupal core is going to remove the Drupal 6 and 7 source plugins from Drupal 12, see 📌 Tasks to deprecate Migrate Drupal Postponed . However there are no plans to remove the migration framework or modern Drupal destinations from core, and if Drupal CMS starts to have migration recipes available that would be a good use case for it now that Drupal 6 and 7 are both end-of-life.

For WordPress migrations specifically, there is already some contrib support:
