    I use scoop, and needed to install this separately from the versions bucket here: (https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Versions/blob/master/bucket/omnisharp-net6.json).

    Scoop is maintained, but just... really slowly. It's a shame. For example it took more than a month and two maintainer pings to merge an absolutely trivial PR to add Python 3.8 (a single character change over the Python 3.7 manifest): https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Versions/pull/226

    For the most part, this does not matter. Most of the existing stuff is already present in buckets and auto-updated by CI. The problem is just when something breaks or something new needs to be added, which can take a non-deterministic amount of time.
