Iteration Plan for December 2023

[kieferrm]

This plan captures our housekeeping work in December. We will not ship a December release. Our next release will be the January release, that we will ship in early February. We will have a separate January plan.

You'll see a large number of GitHub issue notifications over the course of this iteration.

If you are interested in why we have issue housekeeping iterations and in our general philosophy around issue management, then we have this write-up for you. As part of housekeeping we will also fix bugs and implement minor improvements as we see fit.

Endgame

There is no endgame in December as the next release will only be shipped in early February.

End-of-year Schedule

The last Insiders build of 2023 will ship on December 20nd. We will suspend our builds until January 3nd. You will see delayed or no responses from us on issues and PRs across all of our repositories.
