Not sure how to put this through but.

If user is trying to upgrade 5.6 to latest 7 they are likely to hit this page.

It would be very VERY useful to have a comprehensive 5 -> 7 listing.

I just tried updating after reading this page and got hit with deprecated warning for autoload().

This is deprecated 7.2 I believe.

The upgrade from 5 to 7 is terrifying enough. A summation of the issues of deprecated and changed would be very useful for more stupid users like me.

In passing a HUGE thank you for PHP. That this amount of work is free is nothing short of f*****g incredible.

There are 10 migration guides covering the 11 versions from 5.0 and 7.3. Separate guides to cover every combination of start and end version would be more than one hundred. Are you asking for there to be 100+ migration guides? When 7.4 comes out should there be 11 guides added to cover upgrading from 5.0 through 7.3?

The software world has an answer for this problem: perform the upgrade step by step. If you're on 5.6 and want to go to 7.2 then upgrade to 7.0, then 7.1, then 7.2. Don't try to do it all at the same time.
