This is indeed an unusual case. But considering that the Dashboard does
not really change any of the Ceph core functionality but adds a lot of
value by improving the usability and manageability of Ceph, we agreed
with Sage on making an exception here.

Like Kai wrote, our initial goal was to reach feature parity with
Dashboard v1, in order to not introduce a regression when replacing it.

In the meanwhile, Dashboard v2 is way beyond that and we have added a
lot of additional functionality, e.g. RBD and RGW management.

With backporting this to Luminous, we also hope to reach a larger
audience of users that have not updated to Mimic yet.
