I agree about this idea.

The reason why you have an error message about cookies is because cookie 
name has changed in version 6. Now there is only one cookie that is a 
session id, all others session attributes are stored in database 
(session_table). V5 templates  include a javascript check in order to 
identify browsers that do not support cookies. This script probably do 
not use the same cookie name.

grep will help you to find that javascript ;-)

The right way to do web tt2 migration when upgrading sympa is to respect 
sympa install process. This way old templates are ignored unless there 
are customized. Of course this suppose that you never modify templates 
in the default location where they are overrighten  by "make install". 
The correct method to customize web_tt2 templates is to copy them in 
~sympa/etc/web_tt2 or ~sympa/etc/<some domaine>/web_tt2 and then 
customize it.
