@lewing this might cause problems for VS, unless we're careful to remove the downlevel alias. For example, we'll now end up with |

would flipping the aliasing be enough? |

Current manifest lacked versioned workload aliases, making major version transitions require manifest updates. Added versioned aliases (e.g.,
wasm-tools-net11) that extend base workloads.Changes
Pattern
Versioned workloads use
extendsto inherit from base definitions:{ "workloads": { "wasm-tools-net11": { "extends": [ "wasm-tools" ] }, "wasm-tools": { "description": ".NET WebAssembly build tools for net11.0", "packs": [ "..." ], "extends": [ "microsoft-net-runtime-mono-tooling", "microsoft-net-sdk-emscripten" ] } } }This allows referencing
wasm-tools(backward compatible) orwasm-tools-net11(version-specific) as needed during transitions.Original prompt
