I mostly see cosmetic, ported-from-4.8 fixes in the WPF repo. But even that is a good sign, it was mostly a GitHub bot updating dependencies a month ago, when I published this article.
NET 4.8 is still maintained with monthly service releases (and will be through 2029, IIRC). Apparently they're back-porting 4.8 WPF fixes to .NET 5/6. There are no new WPF features, and I imagine these fixes are largely driven by VS2022, which is still based on .NET 4.8.
BTW, FAST.design is fantastic, yet Microsoft uses Fluent UI for O365 HTML UI. Looks like there's a lot of internal competition inside Microsoft in the space of UI frameworks, but WPF isn't a part of it.

Office 365 uses React and its components probably predate FAST. There is a port of the office Fluent components to Blazor github.com/BlazorFluentUI/BlazorFl.... There is some interesting discussion regarding the relationship of Fluent UI components and FAST here github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/issue.... That issue was closed after the creation of a new project with FAST wrappers for Blazor github.com/microsoft/fast-blazor.
Thanks! The discussion link is golden, I haven't come across it until now. A great read.
