       | mistake to make. Nothing to worry about then.

         | 
         | From the post:

         | > "With the runway getting short for the .NET 6 release and
         | Visual Studio 2022, we chose to focus on bringing Hot Reload to
         | VS2022 first. We made a mistake in executing on this plan in
         | the way it was carried out. In our effort to scope, we
         | inadvertently ended up deleting the source code instead of just
         | not invoking that code path."

           | 
           | I'm not sure the original blog post announcing the drop of
           | this feature was completely transparent, and similarly I'm
           | not sure that this retraction post is either. There's too
           | much additional context that points to a slightly different
           | explanation.
           | 
           | But at least they back tracked. That's a win.

             | same as not telling the truth.

           | This explanation is plausible, but
           | https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/pull/22217 was locked from
           | creation, and I interpret this as a sign of wanting to avoid
           | criticism for an unpopular decision.
