Is anyone using BigFix 10.x on Windows Server IoT 2019? Unfortunately, It does not appear on the compatibility list. Any plans to have it added?

As far as I know IoT server is from functionality prospective 1-2-1 with normal server version and they only differ from licensing & distribution prospective, so from BigFix prospective it should not make any difference and both should be managed just fine! MS themselves depict just that:
What is Windows Server IoT 2019?
Windows Server IoT 2019 is a full version of Windows Server 2019 that delivers enterprise manageability and security to IoT solutions. Windows Server IoT 2019 shares all the benefits of the world-wide Windows ecosystem. It is a binary equivalent to Windows Server 2019, so you can use the same familiar development and management tools that you use on your general-purpose servers. However, when it comes to licensing and distribution, the general-purpose version and IoT versions differ. Windows Server IoT 2019 is only licensed through the OEM channel under special dedicated use rights.
To answer your question though, no, not using it but the we do use Server Core and BigFix manages those perfectly fine even though they are severely cutdown versions, so why would normal not be supported…?
