Default Will winsxs stop growing?

On my system, C:\Windows\winsxs occupies 8.5G, out of the 36G used on
my C:, which I try to keep as just OS-plus-software (i. e. not data).

I've seen various discussions of what winsxs is, which generally
descend fairly rapidly into whether it really is the size it seems to
be, talk about junction points, and so on, to the extent that my brain
hurts; in general, I get the impression that, for bears of little brain
like me, it's something I should leave well alone, and accept that it
will grow as time goes by.

When end of support happens in January, will it stop growing?


Mine's 12.8G, with 61,397 Files and 14,508 Folders! But since I still
have 809G free disk space out of a capacity of 931G on my C drive, I'm
not too concerned.
