MAJOR VERSION MIGRATION
-----------------------
Upgrading from a prior major version of Drupal to Drupal 8.x is not possible.
The process now requires a migration to a Drupal 8.x site, using the Migrate
module in Drupal core.
Note that migration support in Drupal 8 is currently only partially implemented.
