I guess, same as normal for next: the builds should work, the unit tests should pass, there’s a warning on the splash that the code is not tested. There will be some churn when we land ‘compositor only’ but the PUI UI and replacement can co-exist in the same build (they already do, effectively).

If you want to enjoy flying, or productively develop on aircraft, ‘next’ would rarely be my recommendation, but people will always do what they please :)

Kind regards,
