The "Built on FAST / Showcase" section at https://fast.design/ lists three projects: Fluent UI, Furious, and VS Code. However, this section is misleading and outdated:

Fluent UI is arguably the only link that belongs there since it is the only project somewhat based on FAST v2.

Furious—First of all, the link leads to a 404 page. Second, as stated on the Backlight website, Furious was built on @microsoft/fast-components, which Microsoft has discontinued.

VS Code—Just like Furious, it relied on @microsoft/fast-components, and was sunsetted.

If Microsoft decided to kill @microsoft/fast-components, that’s your choice—but at least clean up the mess properly instead of proudly showcasing projects that no longer exist or rely on deprecated technology. Leaving broken links and misleading claims on the official homepage is unprofessional and confusing for developers evaluating FAST.

If there are no legitimate replacements for @microsoft/fast-components, maybe reconsider how you present FAST to avoid misleading the community. Right now, this just looks sloppy.
