would you return the VVS?

Unfortunatly not. The Zeus interface serves for that purpose now.

Sometimes Zeus fails to work after dying, including VVS as a backup isn't the worst idea.

The problem with Zeus not working anymore after dying will be fixed with the next release. I can make no promise yet when i will release but should not take too long anymore. Maybe 1 - 2 weeks since i still need to complete the admin control panel.

Do you happen to have a git repo for the addon or am I better off just depboing to make edits/changes specific to the community I use the addon in?

Got no git repo. For the source code look inside the addon folder. There is a source folder inside with all the scripts. However it is just a mission file with all scripts to start in editor and you might come better if you unpbo the addon. I will add the pbo source to the source folder as well with next update.
