Development Status of WSP

Question

Hi All,

according to Tony Redmond, the release of Exchange 2010 SP2 seems to be (at least more or less) imminent (http://www.windowsitpro.com/blog/tony-redmonds-exchange-unwashed-50/exchange-server-2010/exchange-2010-sp2-141130).

My question is, what is the development status of WSP in this context, specifically regarding the two key points in the Exchange Team Blog post (http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2011/08/30/exchange-server-2010-sp2-and-support-for-hosting-exchange.aspx):

- usage of Address Book Policies instead of ACLs
- creation of objects using standard API's or PowerSHell cmdlets

Could someone from the WSP dev team comment on this?

Thx in advance!
Rgds - Marcus.
