That sounds incredibly unlikely. I know we all love a good M$ conspiracy theory but this one is far too silly.

- machina_ex_deus 4y agoThey literally got nothing to lose and they can just go "oops, we saw X in the repo and banned by mistake". There's just no way this is a mistake. I don't believe for a second their internal review systems don't have any safeguards against banning extremely popular repositories without manual oversight, because they must have these safeguards. Other open source repos probably get spurious reports commonly. These systems always have popularity thresholds for manual oversight because as something gets popular, it gets false reports. It's just fact of life. Any manual oversight would easily recognize what's going on and would never ban extremely popular repo for a random transgression of its creator in other repo. Not without consulting a manager.
