PowerShell Core 6.0: Generally Available (GA) and Supported!

What’s happening to Windows PowerShell? The short answer is that it’s still useful and supported! Windows PowerShell 3.0, 4.0, and 5.1 will continue to be supported on supported versions of Windows and Windows Server. (Note: While Windows PowerShell 2.0 is still in support, it has been deprecated, and it’s recommend that workloads be migrated to newer versions of PowerShell.) However, there are currently no plans to introduce new functionality to Windows PowerShell. This means that the risk of regression will be very low for Windows PowerShell, so you can count on it as a stable platform for your existing workloads. There are also no plans to provide a new Windows Management Framework (WMF) package for downlevel operating systems.

изменения если и происходят, то не столь агрессивные »

Происходят, довольно заметные. Например, часть скриптов Powershell пришлось адаптировать для Windows 2003, потому что версия PS 2.0, которая там максимально возможна, не понимает некоторого синтаксиса скриптов для более новых версий PS.
