We ship our binaries to customers. Using something of Microsoft requires that
is allowed from legal point of view. And second, the software need to stay in a
known location. And 3rd: the used runtime should match. The mentioned example
is beta software, not reliable enough for our customers. And last: I've to stay
compatible, so switching to a different approach is almost impossible
(unfortunately). So really: no choice.

If you have an additional source of information, it would be great. I'm new to
git, so I will try to do so.
