Notes from me:
* I got *monumentally* burnt out by #401142. So someone else would need to pick up the mantle. Quoting the various motivations for adding the app:
* * *"1. Similar to in #400815, it unfortunately comes pre-added on many Windows laptops, and thus it's reasonably fair that Winget covers those laptop configurations too."*
* * *"2. The Winget package would hopefully make it easier to **un**install WebAdvisor, because then they can run `winget rm mcafee.webadvisor` or `winget rm mcafeewebadvisor`."*
* What eventually proved to be the killer for at least my PR:
* * #404478.
