Nevertheless, I've pushed a new package with the -bin suffix [2]. However, I'd like to urge everyone to reject this rename request. Assuming the -oss package renames itself to remove the suffix, it will cause tremendous confusion among users of the binary package, especially since the "new" package would have reduced functionality (no extension gallery) compared to the current binary package.
As far as I can see, there is no way to use conflicts/replaces in the PKGBUILD to avoid the above situation. So please, let's not do this. As I mentioned in the comments, this is not sufficient reason to go against AUR package guidelines. In fact, the popularity is even more reason for a package to respect AUR guidelines - as these are commonly used as reference for other packages.
Thanks for submitting the -bin package. I will merge the visual-studio-code package there shortly. Whether the visual-studio-code-oss package should be moved back to visual-studio-code is another topic for discussion. Alad
