-                    Views are compiled by the Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform which uses the Roslyn compiler
-                    from ~/bin/roslyn to expose an ICodeProvider implementation to System.CodeDom.
-
-                    For instance, starting with package 1.4.0 (which contains version 1.2.2.0) System.Collections.Immutable
-                    lists netstandard2.0 as a supported target, whereas package 1.3.1 only listed net45. So now, when
-                    installing, NuGet picks the netstandard2.0 version, thus introducing a dependency to netstandard2.0.
-                    
-                    Somehow, transitive dependencies are not working correctly, and either (a) NuGet fails to properly
-                    register this dependency, or (b) when reference assemblies are gathered before compiling views, this
-                    dependency is missed. In any case, the result is that the ICodeProvider is passed a list of referenced
-                    assemblies that is missing .NET Standard.
-
-                    It may be a mix of both. NuGet registers the dependency well enough, that we can actually build the
-                    whole application - but it is not doing something that is required in order to have .NET Standard
-                    being a dependency when building views.
-
-                    See also: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50165910
-
-                    Funny enough, the CSharpCompiler already explicitly adds System.Runtime as a referenced assembly,
-                    with a comment mentioning an issue. But it's not adding .NET Standard. So, for the time being, to be sure,
-                    we are adding both here.
