Description

The following libraries in dotnet/runtime have not been annotated for Nullable Reference Types.

  • Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.Systemd
  • System.Speech
  • System.Diagnostics.EventLog
  • System.CodeDom
  • System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter
  • System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement
  • System.DirectoryServices.Protocols
  • System.IO.Ports
  • System.Management
  • System.Runtime.Caching

For each, we should either do so or decide we're never doing so.
