I wonder what implications this has for SSH for PowerShell... Microsoft were originally planning to release native SSH in PowerShell this summer. But now it seems redundant when you could just use Bash anyway...

I don't think it's redundant. Many people want to remote into Windows' native shell without having bash present.

It's not redundant, and that's why our work is continuing to go forward. We're definitely not cancelling our plans[1] to deliver native Win32 OpenSSH any time soon.
