Backport #113020 to release/9.0-staging
Customer Impact
An attempt to backport #111444 revealed that CoreCLR packages (like ILAsm/ILDasm) aren't published in servicing releases, meaning fixes to these packages aren't reaching customers. As identified in #112710 (comment), there are some non-CoreCLR packages that also aren't being shipped in servicing releases, but probably should be.
Regression
As far as I know, there was never a conscious decision to stop updating these packages in servicing releases.
Testing
An official build of
release/9.0-staging
with CoreCLR packages enabled for shipping passed, and I verified in the package manifest that these packages were shipped. Some manual verification that these packages were shipped in the next servicing release would be prudent.Risk
Low. While this will change the versions of the packages available to customers, I suspect few customers were using these packages to begin with, considering it took us this long to notice this.
