From what I understand code and VSCodium are basically the same thing, or at the very least they aim to produce almost the same result and it wouldn't make sense to have them both in [extra]. From the VSCodium homepage: "If you want to build from source yourself, head over to Microsoft’s vscode repo and follow their instructions". That is what the "code" package does. VSCodium is a prebuilt package, and when you then go and build it from source you are just building code (Github project description: "binary releases of VS Code without MS branding/telemetry/licensing") That's at least if the project description is accurate. I am not aware if there are more substantial code changes between the 2 repos. That being said I really don't like to maintain code, so if you want to adopt it and rename it you have my blessing and I would very much like to abandon it. -- Massimiliano Torromeo
