Thanks all for sharing your views, and thanks to Lenz & Kai for the clarifications. For those, like David, not familiar with dashboard_v2 (or even with dashboard_v1), you may check this short clip (https://youtu.be/m5i3x4eR6k4), which goes through the dashboard_v2 as per this first backport (feature par with v1). As Lenz said, the improvement in operability this brings in to Luminous largely exceed its cost (doable yet tough) and risks (limited as long as dashboard_v2 is a ceph-mgr python module), and makes this move worthwhile for both new and existing Ceph users. @Willem, given your comments come from a technical ground, let's address those technically. As you say, dashboard_v2 is already in Mimic and will be soon in Nautilus when released, so for FreeBSD the issue will anyhow be there. Let's look for a technical solution (both short and long-term): shall we have meeting to handle the FreeBSD specifics?
