Description

### Please confirm these before moving forward

- [x] I have searched for my issue and not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved issue.
- [x] I have not been informed if the issue is resolved in a preview version of the winget client.

### Category of the issue

Installation issue.

### Brief description of your issue

Hello, the Microsoft.AzureDataStudio Package was pulled on Sept 30th, and we know it's [retiring in Feb 2026](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-data-studio/whats-happening-azure-data-studio?tabs=dev); however, why was it pulled about 6 months earlier?

https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/commits/master/manifests/m/Microsoft?after=ed7698880553ca3b9a61e629bbeef90249c43ccf+34

This is disrupting a large AVD customer with their builds as they have not yet addressed a suitable replacement for it yet. Please advise and we kindly ask it be added back until it's retirement date. Thank you.

Research direction

Start by running `winget search Microsoft.AzureDataStudio` and reviewing the linked manifest commit history alongside the Azure Data Studio retirement notice. Done means the package's availability and removal timing are reconciled with the stated retirement date, with the resulting status documented or reflected in the package repository.
