==== Improved MCO state reporting is now generally available The machine config nodes custom resource, which you can use to monitor the progress of machine configuration updates to nodes, is now generally available. With the promotion to General Availability, you can now view the status of updates to custom machine config pools in addition to the control plane and worker pools. The functionality for the feature has not changed. However, some of the information in the command output and in the status fields in the `MachineConfigNode` object has been updated. The `must-gather` for the Machine Config Operator now includes all `MachineConfigNodes` objects in the cluster. For more information, see xref:../machine_configuration/index.adoc#checking-mco-node-status_machine-config-overview[About checking machine config node status].
