My initial reaction to this PR/backport was questioning why such a major update would happen on a dot release of Luminous. Your reaction to keeping both dashboards viable goes to support that. Should we really be backporting features into a dot release that force people to change how they use the software? That seems more of the purpose of having new releases.
I haven't really used either dashboard though. Other than adding admin functionality, does it remove any functionality of the previous dashboard?
