Thanks for the review.

Yes, of course. I added a comment in JIRA [1] listing net.dll's
dependencies. I think that we can possibly clean up a few more of these,
as a follow on to this change. This is a good thing to do, regardless of
Nanoserver.

In this particular case, I suspect that there might be some interest in
backporting this change, so as to restore net.dll's original set of
dependencies on 8u ( where it seems that some folk are already running,
somewhat successfully, on Nanoserver ).

-Chris.
