I think there's a disconnect here. I spent most of my time in Burn, so I
think all of Burn including custom BAs was ready for consumption in
wix4-preview.0.

2. You never explained what the problem was with uploading the extension
.nupkgs. It would probably be a good idea to upload these packages to find
any issues that might happen.
3. Yes, I noticed you skipped this one.
4. This wasn't really a preview.0 question. It seems the answer is that the
artifacts.zip file will be included in a release in the wix4 repo for all
builds uploaded to nuget.org?
