Windows Package Manager 1.1
It has been admitted.
This is what an 'extinguish' looks like after embracing the idea of a Windows package manager by interviewing the creator of AppGet [0][1] and then dumping him to skip the extend part to full on copy it [2] with no credit and bundling it in the OS.
This is a rare straight extinguish after an embrace, especially in open source.
