Bob, I have not even installed VS Codium, but if at any time I would need to test any VS Code technology I would go in the Codium route, as I do with Chrome/Chromiun shielding myself a little more from my Google concerns. Any of those companies would stop any project with total disregard of the communities behind, as they have shown previously time and again.
But technology commons are not yet self sufficient in most case, so some compromise is done some times relying on Big Corp Inc and their hidden agenda to provide such tech commons. The sustainability of the tech commons is mostly a theme that is not talked about in most tech communities as it starts to touch the forbidden and related economical and political fields. In my case I'm pretty happy using mostly on community/ONG developed Free Libre Open Source Software in my day to day and despite trying to minimize my risks about the panoptic economy, that is the rule of these days, by not using Facebook, Google products, WhatApp, Zoom, MS products, at some point, some incursions there could be needed and is good to map the less intrusive alternatives.
