Anybody? Bueller?

This problem has been open since 2013 guys, please at least triage it and label it as an issue so I know someone's read this...

@BrucePay sorry to bug you but when we talked about issue #6616 last year (which I had originally raised on UserVoice all the way back in 2016) you told me that I should raise issues here because Uservoice is pretty much useless for getting bug reports seen.

Can I get some guidance here? Because in fact still no one has responded to or triaged the UserVoice version of that bug report from 2016.

Sorry, I know this isn't an interesting engine problem like the Hashtable one, but it is one that was discussed during the OS Deployments using WinPE + PowerShell and WindowsImageTools panel by David Jones at last year's PowerShell Summit and there doesn't seem to be any official acknowledgement that this issue exists.

@Chirishman Those cmdlets are in the Storage module which is not owned by the PowerShell team. You should open the issue here: https://windowsserver.uservoice.com/forums/295056-storage
