Research direction

Start with the HangDump extension project's csproj and find the PackageReference to Microsoft.Diagnostics.NETCore.Client pinned at 0.2.607501. Check on NuGet.org whether a stable release is available and compatible, since the issue is about the preview reference. Done means the extension references only stable packages and its build and tests still pass, which the maintainers may need to confirm before merging.

Description

area/dump needs/triage

Describe the bug

The package Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.HangDump in version 2.5.1 references to the package Microsoft.Diagnostics.NETCore.Client in version 0.2.607501, which is assemed to be a preview or alpha version.
A productive package like HangDump should reference to productive packages only.

Version used

Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.HangDump 2.5.1

Steps To Reproduce

N/A

Expected behavior

All references of Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.HangDump have the same release state as the package itself.

Actual behavior

Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.HangDump seems to be productive, but refers to a preview version.

Additional context

We have clear strategy to consume packages from NuGet.org. Packages are checked about the current development state. Packages should be consistent and under maintenance.
While Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.HangDump is assumed to be well maintained, the reference to Microsoft.Diagnostics.NETCore.Client 0.2.607501 breaks the chain of trust.
