The next step in my view is the addition of quality components to the Forms base, and they are doing just that at the moment. I have reviewed and given input for CollectionView, FontIconSource and other specs that are actively being worked on. I saw Miguel demo-ing my input in .NET Conf in the demo Shell app, so they are listening! You did a few stellar Pull Requests yourself, with the Label Spans.
