First pass of this would be just having feature parity with these on 8.1

Next step would be having an API/route set for them

You're talking about the OPC Quick Client that lives in the Gateway in 8.1, right?

That won't make it for 8.3.0, but should arrive shortly after.

You can get "API/route" access to something similar even in 8.1 if you just put a WebDev route in front of some `system.opc.*` calls.

That and the tag diagnostics that let you browse providers from gateway

Yep, I know about the latter -- (though the nice UI is handy)

and aight, good to know. When will 8.3 hit feature parity with 8.1 in terms of things doable from web UI?
