This plan captures our work in October. This is a 4-week iteration. We will ship our October Update in early November.

This is our annual issue house keeping iteration. You'll see a large number of GitHub issue notifications over the course of this iteration. If you want to track our progress, the community has us covered: https://vscode-github-stats.netlify.com/

If you are interested in why we have issue house keeping iterations and in our general philosophy around issue management, then we have this write-up for you.
