Microsoft Dev Box retirement and Azure Managed DevOps Pools dependencies

Microsoft has announced that Microsoft Dev Box will be retired on September 18, 2028.
We use Azure Managed DevOps Pools for our Azure DevOps pipelines. Managed DevOps Pools requires a Microsoft Dev Center and Dev Center Project, but we do not use Microsoft Dev Box to provision developer workstations.

My questions are:

  1. Will the retirement of Microsoft Dev Box affect the availability, support, or lifecycle of the Microsoft.DevCenter resource provider, Dev Centers, or Dev Center Projects used exclusively by Azure Managed DevOps Pools?
  2. Will Azure Managed DevOps Pools continue to require a Dev Center and Dev Center Project after September 18, 2028?
  3. Is any migration, configuration change, or alternative resource required for existing Managed DevOps Pools that use Dev Centers solely as a prerequisite?

Thanks
