Are major upgrades supported using the Operator (i.e. 5.7 to 8.0)?

Hello @rtanner,

for now we do not support this.  
Upgrading the DB from 5.7 to 8.0 is a complex task, but I believe changing the application is not that easy as well.

Please feel free to submit the issue to our [roadmap](https://github.com/percona/roadmap). We will review it and assess what is the best way to deliver this.

Thanks @Sergey_Pronin! I’ll add an enhancement request.
