Cherries from the Grafana Roadmap and beyond

In this topic, we are trying to bookmark things which sparked our interest about what is going on in the Grafana Labs machine room. This might also help other interested people to get their hands dirty with development.

Most things will be deduced from Platform Squad · GitHub.
