We're calling this new repository a [Virtual Mono Repository (VMR)](https://github.com/dotnet/arcade/issues/9359). It has the benefits of a true [monorepo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monorepo) but is a [regularly-updated projection](https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet/commits/main) of the many existing repos that contributors work in (more efficiently) every day. We see this new approach as being a significant step forward in approachability for building .NET as a whole product from source.
