Discussion: Please stop unlisting WinUI 3 Previews on nuget.org

I don’t get why you unlist the WinUI 3 packages on nuget. It prevents us from searching for the package and add it in Visual Studio:
Also it makes it impossible to find a list of versions, and your version numbers aren’t exactly predictable, so we can’t really add them manually either. Also we don’t get notifications of updates to our packages either.
It’s not like it’s actually invisible/undiscoverable. From your project template, you can tell the package ID is Microsoft.WinUI
, so you can literally just go to the URL on nuget.org and see the package:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.WinUI
In fact, I was able to see the preview 2 package the day before you officially announced it. Additionally if you really intended to hide preview 2, if you had preview 1 listed, it would actually hide preview 2 and I’d only be able to see if it I knew the exact version number.

OK with the hints above I see how to reinstall the Microsoft.WinUI package (i.e. WinUI 3 Preview 2) into my project. I removed it using the NuGet Package Manager and it cannot be restored using the user interface to search NuGet.org. However you can get it by going to Tools > Nuget Package Manager > Package Manager Console and typing the following command:
