Hi Mateusz,

I have actually raised this option as well in the PR (257763), but
after months of maintainer timeout, I just decided to take the easier
route. I think www/grafana tracking the latest Grafana version is a
good idea, but the implementation can be a new slave port tracking
www/grafana8, or ideally have the same maintainer of www/grafana8. I
currently do not have extra cycles for it though, so the first thing
is to stop the confusion that www/grafana currently causes.

Best,
