Updating the Prometheus "Roadmap" page

[Julius Volz]

Hi,

As Björn pointed out somewhere, our roadmap page at https://prometheus.io/docs/introduction/roadmap/ is pretty outdated. I'd encourage everyone who is working on great new roadmap items (sparse histograms are an obvious candidate, but maybe something else as well?) to incorporate them there so that it reflects reality again.

Also, at least some of the points there are somewhat stale or semi-done (like TLS+auth or adoption of OpenMetrics), but not sure if they are done enough to be removed?

Cheers,

Julius

I'm not so sure if we should even keep the roadmap page. The design
doc page is reflecting quite nicely what we are currently working
on. You can even get a quite good impression which parts are just
vague visions right now and which ones are more concretely sketched
out or even actively being worked on.

And then Julien mentioned some kind of mission statement recently. I
like the idea so that we can codify overarching goals on a higher
level than individual technical designs and decisions.

In between those two, perhaps the roadmap is just not needed
anymore. (Or it could be a page quoting that "mission statement" and
then refer to the design doc page.)
