When we install app-editors/vscode, there is a message from the package saying "You may want to install some additional utils, check in <some_url>. When the URL is visited, Microsoft says to install language extensions, git, linters etc. This message though not wrong is unnecessary. When such a message is given by gentoo, it seems as if it is something important and forces users to check the URL. It wastes time and is counter productive.
I have submitted a pull request to github for the same. https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/30614
The previous pull request did not have a signoff message and the bug was not linked properly. I closed the previous pull request and made a new one. https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/30625
