I think this got missed in the shuffle, but I am getting questions about the topic from my own team that I cannot answer.

I noticed that the switch and restore commands are now available in
2.23.0 but are not discussed in recent What's Cooking or Git Rev (or I
blithely missed them). The question from my team is what are the plans
for deprecating checkout. They have loads of scripts and want to plan
for moving over.

I don't know of any plans for checkout in particular, but I think the
docs for restore/switch make it clear that it's way too early to start
scripting around them:

  $ git grep EXPERIMENTAL Documentation/
  Documentation/git-restore.txt:THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL. THE BEHAVIOR MAY CHANGE.
  Documentation/git-switch.txt:THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL. THE BEHAVIOR MAY CHANGE.
