Is Microsoft managing OSS initiatives well? The case of issue #3324

Software like Visual Studio and others doesn't handle or support paths longer than 260 characters because doing so would break a lot of plugins and extensions that people rely on.

It requires change in a whole ecosystem and not just in a few key applications. It would require changes in every tool that could be called from nuget, from Visual Studio, etc.

I can completely understand why they don't fix it, or consider it high priority to fix.
