Our Commentary ​

It's interesting to see these features land in a stable 11.x release while also being part of the 12 alpha. This suggests a rapid iteration cycle. The --changeset flag is a standout feature, making dependency management in monorepos much smoother. I appreciate the continued focus on improving the developer experience for complex setups.
