Progress is progress 
Im most excited about Power Historian. Don't use perspective, and the gateway status/config kind of grows on you like your dumb sibling...you learn the quirks and how to navigate/manipulate.
With that said, will there be a path to merge existing historian data into the new power historian? The conference video mentions it's integrated within Ignition and sort of skirted the question about hosting on a remote server. Most of us have SQL boxes...sure hope there is a transition path to turn those into power historian.

My newer understanding of the power historian is that it's not intended for larger installation bases and is intended to be a more performant historian for smaller standalone systems and edge systems.
I could be completely wrong, but considering best practices are to keep the historian separate from the Ignition servers, this breaks that "rule".
2 million tags per second in historian is pretty huge, most ive seen is 40k spread over several servers (and a cost of 3 euro/tag)
2 mil/second was my understanding too...and the size is only limited by the storage space on the ignition box from what i read. If thats changed significantly, thatd be a disappointment.
2 million in the best case scenario probably, assuming earth has no air
QuestDB (which the Power Historian is built upon) boasts 4+ million rows/s for ingestion on a beefy machine. 2 million/s might not be an outrageous number on a powerful server.
I'm excited to start using that. Should be able to build some very performant data dashboards.
So, is today the day ?
Supposed to be, but I would expect it to happen on California time.
I'd guess some time this afternoon if nothing goes wrong or delays the release process...

When this rolls out will it be available as a docker image?

I don't decide these things, but I'm expecting it to be.
