There are plenty of tests available since then, we picked some up recently. This was a temporary blip, if anything. You can see the testing rate on the gov dashboard [0] and it hasn’t really changed enough to account for the fall in cases.

I'm guessing they don't do this voluntarily because they've seen how the music industry had its revenues eroded by Spotify/iTunes (where mostly the user can pick one and get pretty much everything). They're probably

It’s nice to see the .NET Core team hitting on the same solution as we are heading for internally for our multi-repo builds - the “dependency flow” with Maestro sounds very similar to what we intend to do with propagating latest NuGet packa
