Upgraded to drupal 7

This upgrade has been planned for a long time. But without the help of drush, it may take much longer.
When upgrade drupal from 6 to 7, most time is spending on download / config those modules / themes, drush can make those tasks in one or just several commands, this is why it can save a lot of time.
Basically I'm following below steps:
1. Create a dev site with different name / url
2. Use drush rsync and sql export / import to duplicate the dev site as same as drupal6
3. Use drush site-upgrade to upgrade drupal 6 to 7. In this step, all modules will be disabled
4. Install modules needed, and theme
5. Login to drupal 7 and finish configurations
