Providing a ".Abstractions" library

[johnf-jade]

Has there been any consideration to providing a ".Abstractions" library, with models, an IRulesEngine etc but without all the dependencies?

Hi @johnf-jade , can you share some more information on how it will benefit the community?

In the same way that many of the Microsoft.Extensions libraries have a matching .Abstractions so that consumers can incorporate calls to the IRulesEngine into their business logic layer without taking a dependency on Microsoft.RulesEngine and all it's dependencies, e.g. 430KB of FluentValidation. Of course everyone can just make their own abstractions if they want them.
