Two blockers so far:
Slightly related: There a few remaining tools(!) / libraries that still target .NET Framework that I'm not sure about: Helix.Client, Helix.JobSender, StrongName, SignCheck and SignCheckLibrary. I wonder if all those need to stay on .NET Framework? |

SignTool running on framework might have to do with packing/unpacking VSIX's. At least that was the case at some point. For signcheck...IIRC some functionality used to not be supported on core. Maybe some authenticode or VSIX checking? Either way, I think that was resolved. |

Needed to unblock dotnet/arcade#16413 to workaround dotnet/msbuild#12895 but in general offers a way to import BundledVersions.props information from projects that don't import the Microsoft.NET.Sdk.

VMR validation build: dotnet/dotnet#4554 |
By using `NET="Runtime"` on UsingTask declarations, msbuild runs the task always on .NETCoreApp, even on desktop msbuild. Delete two unused projects: - IssueManager (not used in dnceng anymore) - Microsoft.DotNet.Tar (was only necessary for desktop SignTool)
