For an internal tool that reformats our code base, I've used that to pack the `dotnet format` (although technically, not allowed case, since it's a tool, and need to be run from an "sdk" environment). It works for what we use it (whitespace formatting, but not for msbuild/analysis - which is clearly understood).

One thing though, is that native .dlls are still outside (DetoursServices.dll for example in BuildXL). But still pretty impressive what it can done. That, and the new embedded .pdb (for .NET only, e.g. not native).

I wish "publish" was used more by the place I work for (most of the folks would simply Release (F5) and store what's there in p4). I've only recently discovered about "publish" and that is after haven't worked with .NET for so long...
