PSA: The vscode "crates" extension is now a freemium service that collects telemetry

Automatically had "Welcome to Dependi!" appear in my vscode this morning.

Never installed this extension, I had no idea what it was and didn't want it. Turns out "crates" has been bought out/sold to/whatever to some other team.

VSCode might've helpfully automatically moved me to this new extension now that the previous one is deprecated. VSCode also won't let me install the previous extension because it's "deprecated".

This service offers a pro plan for something and also collects telemetry. Whatever.

Version checking is apparently 97% faster with this service and dependency updating is a whopping 95% faster. Not even remotely sure what this is measuring. "According to internal testing"

Anyway, just letting people know in case anyone else was as confused as I was this morning.
