Description
Describe the feature/enhancement you need
Summary
Please provide a supported way to roll back (or downgrade) to an older version after upgrading.
Problem
In enterprise rollouts, issues often surface only under real production load; currently there is no supported rollback path.
During troubleshooting, we need to run targeted regression tests across specific versions to isolate whether a version change is the root cause.
Why this matters
Reduces mean time to recovery (MTTR) for critical incidents.
Enables controlled A/B validation across versions for root‑cause analysis.
Lowers operational risk during staged/enterprise deployments.
Additional context
The scenario/use case where you would use this feature
- Rollback in case of breaking changes like #5493
- controlled A/B validation across versions for root‑cause analysis.
How important is this request to you?
Impactful. My app's user experience would be significantly compromised without it.
Suggested implementation
Offer a safe, documented rollback mechanism (GPO or setup parameter) to switch to a selected previous version.
