Remove the runtime dependency

[diegofrata]

Another idea is to remove the runtime dependency, especially for those who don't use custom Comparers. They can be delivered explicitly (with global:: full typepaths to avoid possible collisions).

I don't see much gain in removing the runtime dependency only for cases without custom comparers, to me this is either all or nothing -- either we move all comparers to be source generated and get rid of the runtime dependency at all or we don't. It's a sizeable piece of work.

The main problem is that the Runtime package has a dependency:

<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Bcl.HashCode" Version="1.1.0" />

This has been removed from 3.0 as it caused issues in packages with InternalsVisibleTo. Needs to rethink the approach.

Could this be fixed by users needing it referencing .Runtime explicitly? So anyone using only default comparers doesn't need it, anyone using them just needs to reference both packages directly.

I haven't had any time to look into it since. I think users referencing the Runtime explicitly is a worse experience overall. Ideally we should be able to drop the Runtime library completely. There's a branch for it, but it needs rebasing and some extra work.
