Description

[Requested by @jpsnover]

We should publish to OpenVSIX registry as well for vscode forks and other tools to be able to utilize PowerShell.

https://github.com/PowerShell/vscode-powershell/blob/01e8ef8605b6602e1f1fa935855de1a62d70a7ac/docs/azure_data_studio/README_FOR_MARKETPLACE.md?plain=1#L58-L67

Tasks

  • Verify legal feasibility

  • Verify CI pipeline feasibility

  • Update README to clarify best-effort support for vscode forks and other OpenVSIX Consumers

  • Publish Package

@andyleejordan can you verify the MS legal feasibility of this? You'd probably have to own the devops pipeline work as well.
