Research direction

Start by locating the project files that define the library's target frameworks and package dependencies. Review how netstandard2.0 is configured and how dependencies such as System.Diagnostic.DiagnosticSource are declared. Done means net 6 and net 8 targets are added and framework-provided dependencies are conditionally excluded where appropriate.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently the library is targeting only net standard 2.0 which is resulting in a large dependency graph which could be reduced,

Describe the solution you'd like
Adding an additional TFM (ie net 6 & 8) as well as placing conditions on the dependencies which are natively available via the framework ie System.Diagnostic.DiagnosticSource.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Accept the dependencies.

Additional context
Azure team are already working on this for the monolithic sdk repo.
