Migrate to PowerShell Core by default?

[ForNeVeR]

My opinion is that if a person has explicitly installed the Core version, then it's likely they did that for a reason and want to use it: otherwise, why would they install it?

If it is decided that this isn't a good idea, an alternative would be to provide a setting for the default powershell path to use for scripts. (I'm assuming that this would be possible.) Of course, simply switching the default to PSCore is likely sufficient for most people, so that would be the simpler solution.

I mean this setting, PowerShell executable path:

Does it not work?
