At first glance, look good, since most of the stepping stones are LTS.

But:
> Moodle 2.9 -> Moodle 3.1

You know that Moodle 2.7 was LTS, and can be directly upgraded to 3.1, which was the next LTS?

> Moodle 3.9 -> Moodle 4.0

Why not 4.1, which is also LTS? Ref. http://www.syndrega.ch/blog/#php-and-dbms-compatibility-of-major-moodle-releases.

Change the theme during the march to its original default theme. How to march your own theme is an entirely different story - something for the developers.
