Description
Description
paket update group <name> changes framework restrictions of other groups.
I think it's because of the formular simplifier or because we don't read the same as what we write...
This might or might not be a bug.
I don't have found a case jet where the changes were "wrong". Also note that I'm not sure we use those framework restrictions (of dependencies) anywhere. AFAIK we only use the framework restriction of resolved (root) packages.

Research direction
Start by reproducing paket update group <name> with multiple groups and compare the framework restrictions before and after the update. Inspect the formula simplifier and the code that reads and writes framework restrictions, as those are the suspected areas. Done means determining whether changes in other groups are unintended and documenting a reproducible failing case or explaining why the behavior is expected.
