[asterisk-users] Migration from 1.2 to 1.8 in production

[Zeeshan Zakaria]

If 1.2 is working fine without any problem then why do you need to upgrade
to any newer version? I would suggest don't do it. If you really want to do
it just for the sake of doing it, upgrade to 1.4 only, which is the most
stable and well tested version of asterisk. Upgrading always causes hickups
in the new system, and effects quality of service to the customers. As they
say, if its not broken, don't fix it.

This is not the case.  Both 1.8 and 1.4 are in the same state right now.
The only difference in support level is that 1.4's EOL is much sooner than
the EOL for 1.8.  1.6.2 will EOL at approximately the same time as 1.4.
See https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Versions for the
most up-to-date schedule.
