Hi there,

in version 5.6 the 6.0 upgrade assistant was also available to non xpack users. For 7.0 one however, the upgrade assistant is only available when using the "basic" images, _not_ the `-oss` ones. Are there any plans to make the upgrade assistant available for `-oss` users as well?

Thank you!

I don't think there's that plan.  
It's available for free with the standard distribution.

Ok thank you. Guess the `-oss` is pretty much dead then 🙂

Unless you have specific restrictive company policy, I'd recommend using the default distribution. It comes with so many features for free.
