PlatformIO IDE extension was removed from VS Marketplace

github.com

At the moment the extension is available again for install. So far the history on comments, ratings and versions seem to be lost.

Wow - this is bad.

  > Unfortunately, we can't restore extensions.

Lol. What an interesting way of saying "we don't want to restore extensions". Newspeak FTW.

I am big fan of this comment:

"@mariaghiondea , do you have any updates on restoring the extension reviews? The PlatformIO IDE extension is important even for Microsoft itself. See Microsoft leverages PlatformIO for its course "IoT for Beginners"

We have many friends at Microsoft - should we attract them to solve your team's mistakes quickly?"
