Will Server 2019 offer any new Group Policy features relating to USB/Removable Storage restrictions?

Does anyone know if there will be any additional Group Policy features relating to USB/Removable Device restrictions in Windows Server 2019? I have heard there was, but can't seem to find anything specific.

You can already block USB devices and GUID device codes. If you're talking about a more granular blocking of USB devices (only ones that you provide) you'll need something like DLP.

I guess Cliff is right and there won't be things added to what is there. What would you like to do with those? Maybe I could help achieving your goal, as we have worked a lot with USB policies.

I strongly agree with Cliff. Microsoft make absolutely no assurance that any features mooted will be in the final product. Microsoft have in the past removed features that were in every preview and might again.

FYI: Microsoft has added new options to device restriction policies. You can now restrict single device IDs, a thing that has been missing all this time.
