It probably will be a nightmare. Which is why I would suggest not
bothering with 6.4. Anything done there will have a rather limited
life expectancy, and may not actually help all that much for 7.0.

I suspect that the "incremental" approach will be more trouble than
it's worth, i.e. you'll end up repeatedly writing code then discarding
it.
