| Rolling upgrades are supported when upgrading from Elasticsearch 5.6 and | ||
| Elasticsearch 6.0-6.2 to {version}. Upgrading from any | ||
| version prior to 5.6 requires a full cluster restart. |

I don't think it's correct to remove this wholesale. This version covers upgrading to 6.7. If you're upgrading from a pre-6.3 version, the information about installing X-Pack still applies, as does using the upgrade guide (which I'm upgrading to mention 6.7). Perhaps we need to split off that last sentence in the second paragraph to make it more obvious? "In
6.3 and later, {xpack} is automatically installed when you install {es}, {kib},
and Logstash. "

I moved it down into the body of the upgrade steps to match what you'd done in 7.0, but if you want it repeated still at the top, that's okay by me.

This still applies to folks getting to 6.7.

If you look at the preview, you'll see that's covered in the Upgrade Assistant step. If it's still not clear, however, let me know.

I removed the part about full cluster restarting from an earlier version, since this section assumed you were 5.6 or later, but will see if it's appropriate to add to lower sections.

References to 6.3 here don't seem quite right. (And we probably need to tweak the section titled "Upgrading to 6.3" as well, since this is the 6.7 version.

For the "Upgrading to 6.3" section, this might work: === Upgrading from versions 5.6-6.2 |

| The Upgrade Assistant and migration APIs are enabled with both the Basic and | ||

This reference to 6.3 is incorrect. You don't need to install 6.3 to get to 6.7. :-)

Right, but the default distribution doesn't contain X-Pack until 6.3. Let's see if I can make that clearer.

The following reference to "rolling upgrades to 6.3" should be "rolling upgrades to {version}"

Thanks for the quick feedback @debadair ! |
This PR clarifies the upgrade process with respect to installing X-Pack and using the Upgrade Assistant.
