Description

I tried using the most recent version (172.64.0 at time of writing) in a netstandard2.0 project, and it failed to restore. I suspect that's because 172.64.0 doesn't explicitly support netstandard2.0.

Version 172.52.0 is the newest version that works. Was removing support in later versions deliberate? If it was, what is the intended way forward for people using SMO in netstandard projects? If it wasn't deliberate, is there any chance of getting a new version out that does support it (even if it's just versioned as 172.64.1 or 172.64.0-netstandard or something, with no changes from the current 172.64.0)?

I don't think there's any particular bits in 172.64 that I need right now, so using 172.52 isn't a showstopper, but I do like to keep my references up-to-date as far as I can.

Research direction

Compare the NuGet metadata and target frameworks for versions 172.52.0 and 172.64.0, then reproduce restore in a netstandard2.0 project. Done means confirming whether support was intentionally removed and either restoring netstandard2.0 compatibility in a subsequent package or documenting the intended path for affected users.
