UPGRADE Dual Wielder in Sage Advice & Errata 5.5

Hi everyone,
I think the time has come to update "Dual Wielder" in the Sage Advice & Errata.

There is a need for clarity, and I believe we need to eliminate any alternative interpretations of this feat.
There are two interpretations regarding this feat on every forum.
I am officially asking the minds currently managing D&D 5.5 to update the errata and tell us precisely how to handle the number of attacks.

Thank you.

What alternative interpretation is there? I think it's pretty clear what the intent is, though it could be worded a little better.

I assume they're talking about the one where DW is modifying the extra attack of the light property, not granting an extra attack of its own.

It's an interpretation which I think is mostly based on people's reaction of "if one reads it this way, it's too powerful, so it must be meant some other way" and not the actual text, but it's not uncommon. (Even though lots of weak attacks aren't actually that great, and it makes DW terrible.)

And the whole light weapon attack complex could stand some clarity in sage advice, mostly because it's scattered around and based on some fussy wording interpretation.

Light property gives a bonus action Light attack (no str/dex mod to dmg)

Nick mastery moves Light Attack to be part of Attack Action.

Two weapon fighting style lets you add str/dex mod to attacks using the Light property

Dual Wielding feat: when you attack with a weapon that has the Light property, you can bonus action Dual attack with a different weapon  (if its also light then two weapon fighting style applies to Dual attack and Dual attack can also add str/dex mod)

The questions that ive seen include:

Whether Dual Wielding intended to require one weapon in each hand or whether it allows hot swapping 2 weqpons in one hand while the other hand carries a shield or something.

Does the dual wielding quick draw feature work with drawing/stowing 2 weapons in sequence with the same hand? Or was it intended to work with only one weapon in each hand? There can be an issue with not enough free object interactions to end a turn with the same weapon in your one hand that you started with.

I mean the other question is whether 4 scimitar attacks using 2 different scimitars in a single hand is bonkers, but i think everyone agrees its bonkers, but also everyone wants more power, so of course we accept it.

In fairness, some of us very much don't accept it.
