What will happen?

If headers and footers will be gone in version 6, will they be auto converted to new plugins?

Headers and Footers:

We have to face the hard truth; headers and footers are the Candle Salad of the forum world. They're both dated and (in general) not terribly useful when compared to other things (like plugins). Usage of headers and footers has dropped dramatically on ProBoards since the launch of v5 and we think it's time we give headers and footers a new lease on life.

I can already hear the cries of "Wait! I use headers and footers on my forum!" Fear not! Prior to the release of v6 a new ProBoards Official Plugin™ will appear on your forum and your headers and footers will be automatically transferred over to this new plugin. This new plugin will be more powerful than the current version of headers and footers. It will allow you to enter your header and footer codes a single time, then select multiple boards to place them on without having to copy and paste them over and over. You can even choose to have a header or footer code only run on a specific theme! This new plugin makes headers and footers more powerful and rewarding than ever before.

Yep. Even if the Admin panel will not have access to the Header and Footer areas under Structure, the forums will continue to have headers and footers. Access to them (at least at the time of the writing of the post you quoted) will be through the 'new ProBoards Official Plugin™'.

Fair point.
