New Post: On the lack of XSDs

I searched around on getting Intellisense working, and found a few pages referring to nonexisting XSD files.

I then found issue #8680, which indicates that XSDs are no longer provided. The motivation for this is a bug in Visual Studio 2008, where Intellisense breaks if you use a task for which no XSD is provided.

I must be missing something, because I keep parsing that as "Visual Studio breaks if we don't do X. Therefore, we will not do X."

What am I missing here?
