Not use org.freedesktop.Sdk as runtime? #33

For starters, thanks for making Visual Studio Code available trough flatpak!

So this is probably a silly question, but is there anyway visualstudio code can not use org.freedesktop.Sdk as it's runtime? I'm asking mainly because It's a whopping 4,6 GB and as a laymen regarding Flatpak it seems weird to use a sdk as a runtime.

It uses the Sdk because its a developer tool and things like clang, git, python2, etc are valuable for developers.

Yep, and even for non-devs git is very useful. Actually I changed the runtime to the .Sdk one when I tried to embed git into this application and then realized a better solution. BTW, additional dev tools like OpenJDK, Rust and Swift which are packed in .Sdk.Extension.* extensions can only be loaded when the .Sdk runtime is used.
