wow wow wow, we definitely should do this. It'll allow us to cur the whole download business away, which is very welcome! |

It's not clear to me if we can still publish a version without a target set. Can we still support platforms we don't build for on CI, assuming the user provides a server? |

11029: internal: Refactor release workflow to reduce duplication r=lnicola a=lnicola This reduces duplication by using `matrix` and paves the way for #10483. The `musl` builder is unchanged because it uses a container. ~~We also get rid of the MacOS 11 SDK thing, which is from when most MacOS builders were on 10.~~ Or not, the default is still 10.15.

11047: internal: Prepare Code extension for bundling r=lnicola a=lnicola CC #10483 This is slightly ugly, but we'll be able to clean it up after ripping the download parts (unless we decide to temporarily drop support for the nightlies). Co-authored-by: Laurențiu Nicola <[email protected]>

Uh oh!

VS Code 1.61 allows using platform-specific extensions: https://code.visualstudio.com/api/working-with-extensions/publishing-extension#platformspecific-extensions
This allows creating extensions which bundle the correct binary for each platform. This would remove the need to download rust-analyzer on the first run after an update and provide a better experience for offline use or when the CI fails to upload the artifacts (#10341 (comment)).
It might also help with updates on Windows.
It might be worthwhile to consider using this feature in the future.
