I want to minimise dependencies in my project by utilising framework dependencies wherever possible

Describe the solution you'd like
I want only the dependencies not available as part of the framework to be included for net standard as this will reduce maintenance effort.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Accept the additional dependency

Additional context
n/a

Can you provide specific examples of the dependencies you think could be omitted? Even just a screenshot from an IDE.

@drewnoakes to make it easier i have just submitted the optimisations as #1091

Thank you. Nothing is a concrete as a code diff :)

Running CI now and if it passes I'll merge.

No worries at all. 🙂
