+                    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 netstandard.
+
+                    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 netstandard
+                    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 netstandard. So, for the time being, to be sure,
+                    we are adding both here.
