I am running Configmgr 1602 and am getting ready to update to 1610.

I have a concern that the notes for 1606, but not for 1610 say  
"OSDPreserveDriveLetter task sequence variable has been deprecated.

I am using that, and must use it.

Michael has tweeted.... "@1E_TroyMartin<https://twitter.com/1E_TroyMartin> And 
if you're using ConfigMgr 1606 or later, don't worry about 
OSDPreserveDriveLetter at all :-)"

What does that mean?  Does it mean that in 1606 and up, it always behaves as if 
OSDPreserveDriveLetter were set to TRUE?

I need to use it because if I don't when staff build machines and do not remove 
the USB boot stick at the right time, the stick gets assigned a letter before 
the fixed drive and the fixed disk ends up getting assigned D: and the OS is 
installed on the D: drive - with no C: present.

OSDPreserveDriveLetter forces ConfigMgr/MDT to assign the correct letter to the 
OS Disk.  Now it can guess wrong.  Why on earth would this be removed?

I guess I will update my test environment and see exactly how screwed I am.
