Research direction
Start with src/Paket.Core/FrameworkHandling.fs and the NuGet target-framework documentation linked in the issue. Trace how target frameworks are handled during install and restore, then identify the deprecated frameworks shown in the issue. Done means those frameworks produce warnings during both operations, with the eventual removal question addressed according to the project’s guidance.
