Looks like the naming policy is doing a pretty good job in my tenant...

According to recent comment by Rob de Jong under this article (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-accessmanagement-groups-settings-cmdlets), the feature is targetted for May.
It is still in development, probably has something to do with the external users as well? This feature is eagerly awaited. Is there an update available on the subject?

Is this features avaliable now? This feature is eagerly awaited. Is there an update available on the new dates ?
Wait for Ignite. It's just 12 days away...
It is May, does anyone know about schedule of this change? It would be really nice to be able to add prefixes or suffixes to the names of Groups!
The current situation is that groups created with OWA and Outlook can be controlled by an Exchange naming policy.
This doesn't work with applications that don't know about Exchange configurations, which is why Microsoft is moving the policy to AAD. When that happens, all applications that create groups (Teams, Planner, SharePoint, OneDrive, Power BI, OWA, Outlook, and the various mobile apps) will be upgraded to support and enforce the new naming policy.
As people have noted, this change is in the roadmap. It should have appeared some time ago (according to Ignite presentations), but it didn't. Maybe because of new apps - like Teams - using Groups, In any case, it is coming. Hang tight.
