This. Seriously. It's completely different from letting older kids play unsupervised in the backyard. Toddlers easily drown in a garden pond, let alone a swimming pool. Leaving a toddler alone near a body of water, even for five minute

If they make the csproj format package aware and treat files as included by default, I don't actually see any disadvantages over project.json. In fact, I think that a format that doesn't even have comments is terrible for this kin
