Hello Aaron_Lower you announced a follow up blog post, have you had time to write and publish it?
The feedback posted here is it necessary to Re-post it in feedback hub and what's the correct category to reach your team?
Is there a public roadmap for WinRE as I do not see improvements with Windows 11.
The discussed behaviour to place WinRE at the end is quite feasible as it allows to enlarge the WinRE partition and also saves time as shrink is faster than resize and move Partitions (which is still not a diskpart or settings app disk management feature).
I am using multiboot and the amount of duplicate WinRE Partitions have been fixed.
When placed at the end it can be resized by diskpart shrink. It should not create duplicate WinRE partitions, and doesn't seem like setup still do so.
I understand the relation that most devices are prepared by OEM, but you should not underestimate the amount of bare metal installs. Many devices at home do see a manual reinstall from ISO, upgrade assistant or Windows Reset this PC.
Many VMs are installed via ISO especially Windows Server.
