Are algebras of smooth functions formally smooth?
Let $M$ be a manifold. Then is the ring of smooth functions $C^\infty(M,\mathbb{R})$ formally smooth over $\mathbb{R}$?
If it helps, feel free to assume that $M$ is compact.
(This is not a joke ...

Is $π:\mathcal{C}^∞(M,N)→\mathcal{C}^∞(S,N)$, $π(f)=f|_S$ a quotient map in the $\mathcal{C}^1$ topology?
This question was previously posted on MSE.
Let $M, N$ be smooth connected manifolds (without boundary), where $M$ is a compact manifold, so we can put a topology in the space $\mathcal C^\infty(M, N)$...
