Hi Gilles,

Ideally it needs to be done as soon as possible - especially in
regards to themes as you may need to find someone to port it to Drupal
7/8.
I don't think Digikam.org uses any custom modules, so hopefully as
long as they're all commonly used modules the migration shouldn't be
an issue there.
