Backdrop CMS as an Upgrade Option for Drupal 7 Sites
According to Drupal.org, there are still over 400,000 sites using Drupal 7. Backdrop CMS is a fork of Drupal 7 explicitly created to provide an option for Drupal 7 site owners that are unlikely to ever make the jump to modern Drupal (8/9/10). Backdrop CMS preserves the workflow and coding practices of Drupal 7 while adding some of the features of modern Drupal such as configuration management and a new layout system.
