Change $PSNativeCommandArgumentPassing to default to Legacy on stable release and Windows on previews (github.com)
Given the impact to users with the 7.3.0 release, proposal is to change the default of

$PSNativeCommandArgumentPassing to Legacy on Windows (still Standard on non-Windows). We would keep the default as Windows on Windows for preview releases. This would be backported to 7.3.x

DSC resource platform changes to use JSON instead of MOF (github.com)
As we continue to make DSC more viable cross-platform, we have a serious problem with MOF. MOF

parsing is provided by MMI.dll (there is both native code and managed code). MMI itself has dependency on OpenSSL 1.0 for the WSMan features. The non-Windows build of MMI is no longer supported and has been deprecated.
