Are most if not all of GitLab's future CI and CD improvements going to be focused on using Kubernetes and/or containers exclusively?

We're not using that method of either hosting GitLab or deploying our software at my company for various historical reasons, and while GitLab has been good for us overall in its basic workflow, it's a bummer how much of the future roadmap and CD/Devops improvement seems not to apply to our setup.

We're definitely doing a lot with Kubernetes, especially within CD, but it's not completely exclusive. We usually provide powerful primitives that can be used for anything, but make it easier if you're using Kubernetes.

Take monitoring for example. You can add Prometheus monitoring to (nearly) anything. But if you happen to use it with Kubernetes, we'll grab a bunch of data automatically. If not, you may have to configure it yourself.
