I love Grafana, don't get me wrong, but I have the sensation they are now in that position where, companies that got a massive capital injection and, therefore, a massive increase of work power, release too much and too soon.

It doesn't have anything to do, of course, with the fact that this morning we suddenly found that all our dashboards stopped working because we were upgraded to Grafana v9, for which there is not a stable release nor documentation for breaking changes.

Luckily they rolled back our account.

I apologize for the disruption we caused you when rolling out Grafana 9. We are working on improving our releases to Grafana Cloud and also on making sure that errors due to breaking changes in a major release won't affect customers in the future. As a Grafana Cloud customer, you shouldn't need to read docs about breaking changes when we upgrade your instance.
Dude, I hope you also read when I say that I love what you do and your reply just confirms I'm putting my money in the right hands.

I just wouldn't mind to be the last to upgrade to a newer version :)
