" Extensions which are written for Joomla 2.5.27 and don't use deprecated methods will run on Joomla 3 fine."
That's not completely true. From a php perspective maybe. But CSS/JavaScript is a different matter. If you stick to what's in core, you have the issue between whatever vs Bootstrap, Mootools vs jQuery, etc. Especially when it comes to admin-side extensions.

We need your to help spread the word!
We are currently planning the Joomla 2.5 marketing campaign. Joomla 2.5.28 will be releasing December 10th. As part of our campaign, we are asking extension developers if they would create a blog (of any length) that explains 2.5.28 will be the final release of the 2.5 series. Additionally, it would be helpful that you provide documentation on how to upgrade your extension within your blog post.
Here is documentation by Jennifer Gress, Tom Hutchison, and Connie Lippert to help people plan for upgradinghttp://docs.joomla.org/Why_Migrate. Furthermore, the marketing team is preparing a press pack to assist you with the proper messaging and Q & A about the development life cycle.
In conclusion, our goal for this campaign is to work together to help the community find the resources they need for successful upgrade planning.
If you have suggestions on how else we can assist in this transition, please let us know.Jess

A. Migration of usersUsers do not migrate to a new release just because the software vendor is telling them to do so. Any migration that is more then a simple upgrade is considered to be 'a risk' and is translated in 'a cost'. For a user to take this step the benefit of migrating needs to outweigh the cost it involves.The numbers Michael en myself posted above confirm this. Users are in no rush to move to 3.x. Today the market tell us that 30% of new installations are still done on Joomla 2.5, with more then 50% of new installations being on 2.5 a year ago.
1. BenefitJoomla 3.x doesn't have any key selling points over Joomla 2.5 that could help users see additional benefit to upgrade. The unique selling point for v3 has been mobile ready and user friendly. From most users their perspective this is not enough of a reason to migrate.
2. CostJoomla 2.5 is not yet 3 years old. Officially released in January 2012. For many users a time period of less then 3 years is too short to warrant an additional migrate cost. (as Charlie has also pointed out from his own experience) A migration for most means hiring a developer to help them migrate, if often brings additional costs to extensions etc.
Hi everyone,
I cannot speak on behalf of other hosting companies, however, the standard protocol is to provide the best possible service to clients, especially on a shared hosting environment.
This is usually to guarantee the server uptime in the highly competitive market.
SERVICE UPTIME GUARANTEE
We offer a Service uptime guarantee of 99.9% (“Service Uptime Guarantee”) of available time per month. If we fail to maintain this Service Uptime Guarantee in a particular month (as solely determined by us), you may contact us and request a credit of 5% of your monthly hosting fee for that month. The credit may be used only for the purchase of further products and services from us, and is exclusive of any applicable taxes. The Service Uptime Guarantee does not apply to service interruptions caused by: (1) periodic scheduled maintenance or repairs we may undertake from time to time; (2) interruptions caused by you from custom scripting, coding or the installation of third-party applications; (3) outages that do not affect the appearance of your website but merely affect access to your website such as FTP and email; (4) causes beyond our control or that are not reasonably foreseeable; and (5) outages related to the reliability of certain programming environments.
That being said, if any site has:
1. Old extensions, component, plugins etc. that can or does cause server performance issues and/or interruptions on the server, the site will automatically get suspended
a. The client will then be notified to correct the problem (similar concept to Google’s webmaster if your site has a virus/spyware)
Typically, we work with clients to upgrade their systems or provide links/resources to Joomla if we cannot do it ourselves.
Obviously, if a client is on a dedicated server, the above would not be an issue. But, who would invest in a dedicated server while still using Joomla 1.5 or 2.5? That wouldn’t make much sense.
Thanks
Omar
