Description
This plan captures our work in April. This is a 6-week iteration. We will ship our April Update in early May. You'll notice that we list less work than usual in an iteration that is longer than usual. If you wonder what we are up to: One of the most commented issues is about WSL and led us to explore what we can do (#63155). It made us realize that with a bit of enablement in the core, we can build extensions that greatly improve the WSL experience and "a bunch of other stuff" 😃. It's a model comparable to what happened a year ago with the LiveShare extension. So, this month we keep the focus on those extensions and lift the curtain in early May. It's going to be cool, stay tuned.
Oh, and the Swiss part of our team needs to set a ⛄ on 🔥.
