moved #8 to should-have

Hi,
Wondering if there is a timeline on when this will be released?

[mtojek]

@bpmct Here is the list of untracked issues in the milestone:

• devcontainer: support multi-stage build with dangling build stage #231
• coder/kaniko: support multi-stage builds with DoCacheProbe #230
• devcontainer: support docker-compose  #236
• Dev Containers: Script init and Entrypoint #221
• Dev Containers: Support volume mounts of devcontainer spec #220

Except for the first two (multi-stage), I would wait for some +1 👍s from community members to establish priorities.

Re multi-stage: @johnstcn are these a blocker for dogfood now?

[johnstcn]

@mtojek I wouldn't say so, no.

[bpmct]

@johnstcn I think we're good to cut a v1.0 once we fix #334. #231 also feels important but not critical.

[matifali]

It would be nice to have #43, too, before 1.0. There are already workarounds to achieve it.

[johnstcn]

@bpmct is this good to close?

[bpmct]

Yep!
