Announcement is out. Good on Microsoft for finally reaching a sane conclusion.
- Recall won’t ship as a feature at launch on Copilot+ PCs any more.

* All requests to disable valgrind, memory sanitation etc. in tests should be met with extreme scepticism and caution
* We need to call out people bullying open source maintainers
* We need to find ways to support maintainers before they burn out
* We need to establish a culture of succession for open source maintainers

We’re incredibly proud of
