[wix-devs] Visual Studio 2019 Preview 1

...or after VS2019 ships. Votive doesn't really have a maintainer so quite often it doesn't catch up until a month or more after VS ships (at best). It doesn't help that VS is shipping even faster. I did the work to break out Votive into its own repo so someone else could deal with it.

Rob did a whole bunch of work to refactor Votive into a Marketplace extension for VS2017. It's now at https://github.com/wixtoolset/VisualStudioExtension. You are welcome to try to see how much work it will be to get it working in VS2019 Preview. All of us on the core team are spending our efforts on v4 so I don't think anyone is going to even look at it until VS2019 is about to ship.
