My hypothesis is the point is to compete with Jira. That would be MS's biggest competitor in this space, and the changes make it look a whole lot more like that.

I wonder if MS has gone back on their word to leave GitHub to it's own devices...?

I have been unable to find a method to revert. Best option might be to make a bunch of noise. Other than that, it's migration time.

When they start making everything drag & droppable at a huge cost to UI latency and bundle size (plus, for some reason, idle resource use), we'll know for sure that's what they're doing.

If competing with Atlassian is the point, then they're going to have to completely revise their licensing model for a start. GHE is _far_ too expensive compared to Atlassian's whole software suite to be any real competition.

It gets merged into MS product catalog, GitHub might have a time table at this point...
