We did catch it internally in testing (as we use VS Code for all our work, so some folks did stumble on it), but I think we underestimated the impact and should do a better job at that.

Either this is an outright lie or it's a sign of just how fucked this industry has gotten. There should be no way that anyone looked at this and decided it wasn't a big enough deal to block given that this is basically the single issue driving most of the industry's cultural discourse and a good chunk of the broader world's as well. If that's what happened then the people making those decisions are so thoroughly insulated from literally any feedback that the industry - to say nothing of the world at large - would be better served if they were replaced by a literal magic 8 ball.
