FYI I raised a similar PR in August that was eventually superseeded by the team

It seems that the process is that they only plan on updating this file once per set of monthly releases is complete.

A side note, that Install-PowerShell.ps1 script isn't actually a documented install mechanism & whilst useful, it's well in need of updates as it currently doesn't support the MSIX install method or a specific version of PowerShell either.

So I wouldn't get hopes up that this PR will get merged at all.
