Hi all, Sorry for taking so long back here.
Martijn and I have drafted the first version of the updated roadmap, including the updated feature radar reflecting the current state of different components. https://docs.google.com/document/d/12BDiVKEsY-f7HI3suO_IxwzCmR04QcVqLarXgyJAb7c/edit Feel free to leave comments in the thread or the document. We may miss mentioning something important, so your help in enriching the content is greatly appreciated.
