I really like the update pace of Gitlab. Our teams are all based on an on-prem EE (low tier) and it's been a pleasure to receive a steady stream of valuable updates.

Passing on all the good things that Gitlab does for us already; I _really_ wish gitlab would push to make more of the Project Management features accessible to the lower tiers (maybe even CE). Epics and Roadmaps linked to Gitlab's SCM and DevOps features would be a _real_ contender to JIRA/Confluence in the market but it's currently hidden behind a very steep ~100$/m "ultimate" plan.

GitLab Community Advocate here. Thank you very much for the feedback. I understand your desire to move some features to the lower tiers and that's a good sign for us that we are on the right path with our offerings. From time to time it happens that we move some features to the lower tiers or even core/free tier.

I wanted to share few more words on how we are trying to be the good stewards, you can find more about our stewardship rules and promises here https://about.gitlab.com/company/stewardship/#what-features-...

Thanks for your comment. Glad to hear you like the update pace. Regarding epics we're considering moving them to a more affordable plan while keeping the roadmap in Ultimate. But we're not close to a decision.
Thanks for the update! I really think there's a huge opportunity of growth there that goes beyond SCM/DevOps for medium sized teams.
