What is the impact of staying on Drupal 7 past the EOL date?

The impact of staying on Drupal 7 beyond the community’s end of life is the increasing risk of security issues. After the EOL date of Drupal 7 passes, the community will no longer address potential or known security vulnerabilities which could put your Drupal 7 site at risk The Drupal Association also plans to begin dropping support for unmaintained modules as the D7 EOL approaches, which could result in a loss of functionality from contributed modules even before the official EOL date.
