Thanks for doing this. This will be the canary that tells us whether Microsoft is really changed like they claim. Since they call themselves "in love with open source" [1] and letting Github "remain an open platform" [2], I expect them to not remove this project from Github. If they do remove it, whatever reason they give about wanting to provide the best possible VSCode experience is bullshit and Github will no longer be a home for open-source projects.
