+Grouped batching is enabled by default and cannot be disabled
+
+The Grouped Batching feature in the container runtime has stabilized and is now enabled by default.
+
+The `IContainerRuntimeOptions.enableGroupedBatching` option, which allowed an application to disable grouped batching, has been removed. Grouped Batching is now considered a core part of the container runtime, and as such can no longer be disabled.
