6.5 U2 upgrade to 6.7 - will there ever be a supported upgrade path?

I think the answer will be yes, in due time. But I just wanted to hear what you guys had to say about this.

6.5U2 to 6.7 is not supported because its a back in time upgrade. 6.5U2 was released after 6.7 so there is code and security items that are not in 6.7.

I understand that, but will it ever be? They cant just leave customers on 6.5 U2.

There will be definitely in future for sure. This is the same happened for 6.0 U3 to 6.5.
