DataStore2 doesn't show in toolboxes, and now I can't publish over it

DataStore2 is used by countless developers, but for the past several months it hasn’t showed up in player’s toolboxes. For a fix, I’ve asked developers to do this while I investigate:

Now, this has become a more serious issue–I cannot publish over it anymore.

When I choose assets, I can only see this:

This is not the main DataStore2 module–the actual one does not show up.

I’ve not received any messages about this, and DataStore2 has been mostly rewritten and will in the very distant future allow methods that do not take up nearly as much data. If Roblox wants to deincentivize its use because of the current method, blocking me from fixing it is not a productive move.

Furthermore, considering the amount of developers that use DataStore2, blocking me from updating it means any critical issues I find (including ones that cause stress on Roblox servers) are less likely to be fixed across the games that use it.
