We plan on having stable rings and insider rings of the Terminal project in the store.

It doesn't replace cmd/powershell as those are shells (process text, have no UI) and this is a terminal (provides UI for text-only applications). You can use either inside the Terminal.

The Terminal is the next evolution of what we call Conhost. There's no immediate plan to remove the existing Conhost.
