 ## Dev Containers
 
+### Optional Paths for Templates
+
+[Dev Container Template](https://containers.dev/templates) authors may now indicate during publishing optional files or folders within the template.  This utilizes a new property on the Template metadata called  ['optionalPaths'](https://github.com/devcontainers/spec/blob/e2d850e48292b19b8beb3575b7e538a7bfdad981/docs/specs/devcontainer-templates.md#the-optionalpaths-property).  End users of the Template can decide whether or not to apply those files to their workspace.
+
+For example, a Template author may want to let a user choose to include/exclude starter code or platform-specific files.
+
+The Dev Containers extension will prompt users to select which files or directories should be included when applying the Template.

 ## Tunnels
 
 ## SSH
 
+### **Feedback Wanted**: Expanded compatibility for remote OSs
+
+Effort has been made this iteration to make it possible to use the `Remote - SSH` extension with historically unsupported remote machines.
+
+Changes include removing the hard requirement for `bash` and supporting the "busybox" toolkit of programs.
+
+This effort is experimental and subject to change.  We encourage users to try connecting to previously unsupported servers and [share their experience](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/new).
+
+Note the <a href="vscode://settings/remote.SSH.useExecServer" codesetting="true">`useExecServer`</a> setting must be enabled and [VS Code Server dependencies like `libstdc`](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/linux#_remote-host-container-wsl-linux-prerequisites) are still required on the remote machine.
