Description

When one of Extensions package is referenced in a .NET FX application, there will be a warning emitted:
```
warning : Microsoft.Extensions.Compliance.Abstractions 8.2.0 doesn't support net462 and has not been tested with it. Consider upgrading your TargetFramework to net6.0 or later. You may also set true in the project file to ignore this warning and attempt to run in this unsupported configuration at your own risk.
```

This is really confusing for users and we need to consider rephrasing or maybe removing it.
