Sad to see they only use MS GitHub instead of selfhosting something like GitLab. Just another vendor lock-in.

Honest question - is GitLab really that different of a vendor lock-in over GitHub?

Gitlab's AGPL so I don't think there's anything stopping you from moving to a self managed instance.

No Gitlab is not AGPL, it is partly MIT and the corporate branch is under a proprietary license

Still better than a fully closed, 100% proprietary, cloud-only Microsoft service.
