Description
**Help us make content visible**
Take this article, for instance: https://docs.microsoft.com/es-es/dotnet/standard/runtime-libraries-overview
**Describe the new article**
It's not clear whether `Microsoft.Extensions.*` package versions have to be "aligned" (less or equal) to the runtime version.
E.g., is it ok to add a reference to `Microsoft.Extensions.* Version="6.0.0"` (targeting `netstandard2.0`)
from my `net48` or `netcoreapp3.1` projects? Are these newer packages backwards-compatible with older runtimes?
