Supporting Replication in dbatools

Jess Pomfret makes an announcement:

Replication, everyone loves to hate it, but it’s been our most requested feature as far as adding commands to dbatools. For ages we’ve said ‘sounds great’ and ‘we would love that’, but when we started looking into it the energy soon fizzled away, due to it’s dependency on RMO – Replication Management Objects, as opposed to SMO – SQL Server Management Objects, things weren’t as easy as we had hoped.

That said, it’s now there as of version 2.1.1. It supports snapshot, transactional, and merge replication. No peer-to-peer, but is anyone actually surprised at that?
