Moq now ships with a closed-source obfuscated dependency that scrapes your Git email and phones it home (github.com)

Also some fun takeaways: it also makes external calls to azure to load configuration and stays silent after updating for 2 weeks before showing warnings.

Moq is unusable. Needs to be forked or repoaced. Time to switch to NSubstitute.

No need to rush out and replace Moq, you're fine if you're on a lower version. We are using 4.16 or something at work, and I don't see any need to take any action there. Didn't have a reason to upgrade anyway.

If the SponsorLink package comes back, and kzu is determined to push forward with it (which is absolutely his right to do) then long term I guess we'll move to something else. My preference would be to stop using mocks altogether.
