Quick and easy.
As with versions and version numbers, this sort of packaging decision is largely marketing driven. It belongs there not because of any abstract standard concerning what is core and what is optional, but rather because having msbuild work out of the box is a requirement to get people to use it. >> Maybe 2 distributions: 1.0 compatible, and 2.0, compiled for >> 2.0 and with >> additional features? >> > This might create too much confusion for (some) users, no ? > I agree. I suppose it could be hidden by an installation kit, but installations are a royal pain. On the other hand, is it really necessary to continue to run under 1.1? I realize it must continue to allow 1.1 as a target, but I thought that it can still do that as a 2.0 exe. I don't know how that affects Mono. (I'm not at all sure that there's any requirement for 1.0; I thought that got tossed away relatively quickly.) Are there any problems with requiring .Net 2.0? There's enough value in it that we ought to encourage people to upgrade. (But maybe I'm biased because we're exploiting the new stream encryption features - and I'm big on security features.)
