Hello. Really appreciate the Zen theme you guys have provided for Drupal as well as the documentation. It's awesome and really helped me get into responsive and Sass.

I am just wondering, in the future with the release of Drupal 8, would it be possible to easily upgrade from Drupal 7 with Zen 7.x-3.2 or Zen 7.x-5.4 to Drupal 8 with Zen without re-writing all of the theme code? For example, will there be some sort of upgrade path, or instructions. Or does the Drupal 8 Zen theme require a whole new set of theme code, and re-writing all of the customized sass/css.

Re-writing theme code customization was a major pain when upgrading a lot of websites from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7.

A lot of the websites we are currently developing are using Zen 7.x-5.4 compiled with compass/sass. Some older ones are using Zen 7.x-3.2 with XHTML.
