An example of this would be morelinq. As I understand it, .NET Framework 4.7.2 fully implements the .NET Standard 2.0 API. Therefore I would like my project to reference the .NET Standard 2.0 build in the NuGet package instead of the .NET Framework 4.5.1 build. The benefit of this would be that the .NET Standard 2.0 version of morelinq does not have additional dependencies, e.g. on System.ValueTuple . However, when I add the NuGet package, it defaults to referencing the .NET Framework 4.5.1 build and hence, includes its additional dependencies. This is only one of a few such cases. So at the moment it seems, to me at least, that I
