Do you need to "own" the whole editor to do what you're doing? Just maintaining sync with upstream is a massive rod for your own back, and I don't see what you gain. As others have said, alternative registries exist, and installation instructions of standalone plugins are easier on users than downloading and installing a whole editor.

Can't you just do your own "Copilot" extension and plumb in an instance to ollama? Isn't that what Continue does? https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Continue...
