Description

With the all-new netcore on the horizon now, lock files are about to grow tenfold. It's fine leaving it as such, because it's obviously required by Paket itself. But is there any worth in emitting a slightly simpler, human readable version - or a paket command that can do this? Just something that lists out all of the dependencies in a flat list or something - akin to the good old packages.config file?
