What if one language server adds a function to use your code for AI training? Are you okay with that as long as it came as a gitthub binary?

And these modern editors introduce another issue with their modularazied design. For each supported language Vscode installs tons of other crap beside the language server itself. And the language server alone has a quite long list of dependencies

I wouldn’t be okay with that, but I doubt I would be able to tell from the download button
