Create offline VS Code Marketplace (airgap support for vscode as default editor in Che/Dev Spaces)
(was: Check if che plug-in registry could provide the VS Code marketplace API)
Is your task related to a problem? Please describe
For offline/airgap mode, we will need a private registry to provide vsix files. OpenVSX requires a database + elasticsearch (and oAuth is only github)
So we should check if we can propose basic API on top of existing plug-in registry to provide these offline features if people don't need a '3-tier service' for that purpose.
Describe the solution you'd like
Layer providing queries/download of VSIX files
Describe alternatives you've considered
Allow to set by preferences of the user the registry to use (like Eclipse OpenVSX instance, in-house OpenVSX, etc.)

Wouldn't it make more sense to improve the upstream open-vsx code base to make it more modular? It would allow other open-vsx clients to benefit, as well.
yes the first path is to try to enhance OpenVSX (and there are already some PRs to support this light mode)
