Then this is yet another target framework that fits the versioning scheme with the informational versioning attribute. This leaves the topic of the ifdef hell that we need to accomplish the task. Do we want to introduce csproj files that reflect the framework targets? Would that work with nant? How does one compile a library that works on .net core anyway? Is there an extension for visual studio that adds a target framework?
