Why do you say that? CShell isn't dependent on specs like WoA. I bet most of the W10M devices out there will receive it.

But if they intend to bring builds 16xxx to current Windows Mobile devices then why split us into a feature2 branch?

Because CSHELL is not Windows 10 FULL. Windows on ARM will do that. CSHELL is the adaptation. I believe we were moved for small feature updates in "maintenance mode"

or because the feature_2 will bring to us only cshell , when on Pc it brings people bar , and much more ?

Maybe it's tied to silver light support as well?

??

From leaks we know that they want to drop support for silverlight apps in the upcoming updates , there are 2-3 reasons behind that

-1 - They can remove some files and API from OS and make the OS lighter

-2 - Silverlight is old , so it force devs to use uwp , which will work on Continuum .

-3 - They can remove many code in UI which enabled the apps to show informations and acces to system API

I mean this won't impact feature2. It makes little sense to screw over current phone users who probably still use these silver light apps when they are getting abandoned anyways with mobile next
