[Question]: Should V6 only support "MS Supported" Net Frameworks ?

[Smurf-IV]

In order to allow the suite to move into the latest "Fonts", PInvokes, "Remove MissingFramework API's", Winform structures / etc.
Can V6 only support MS Net Frameworks that it will cover in its lifetime?

i.e. only .Net 4.6.2 onwards.

So drop support anything below 4.6.2?

[PWagner1]

I'd say yes

I have assigned to you to modify the build scripts (And TFM support)
And then assign back to me if you want me to go through and delete the "MissingFrameworks API's" or <net 462 #defines

@Smurf-IV Back over to you, I've done the edits on alpha-enh#290

@Smurf-IV Just a thought, since we're dropping support for below 4.6.2, should we also ditch the lite packages? I'll also mirror changes on the Extended-Toolkit.

That'll make the explanation text easier (i.e. it doesn't need it any more :-))
Description can then state something like "An update .... supporting MS Supported Net Winform Frameworks from .Net4.62 (inc) onwards"

Also it'll make building Extended-Toolkit a heck of a lot easier! :)
