Thanks Kelly. I know this was not your decision, but here is my feedback - at my organization, our Information Security group is not going to allow us to stay on Edge 114 when Edge 116 remediates CVE-2023-4863. Therefore all 1200 of my users will get upgraded to 116 and see this banner. By the time 118 comes out, it won't be as much of a concern for me.

It would be nice if we could decouple these major feature updates from security updates. That was the allure of Extended Stable for us, but since these big features are coming on even-numbered releases anyway, it doesn't make much of a real-world difference for us.

Thanks for following up, I do appreciate the communication even if it is not great news.

      Kelly_Y I really want to express my deep concerns about this not being backported. We are using non-persistent Citrix Sessionhost to publish an app to our endusers. This app can open websites in Edge so these users will get this banner each time to login again because they are then on a brand new system for them.
      So if I am correct we now will have to wait till 118 comes out, I can not find any details on when 118 will go into the stable channel. Do you know when this will be?
