.NET Linux SDK has net4* targets

[tmds]

I've extracted .NET 7 preview 5 tar.gz for Linux.

There are several net4 targets.

./sdk/7.0.100-preview.5.22307.18/Microsoft/Microsoft.NET.Build.Extensions/net47
./sdk/7.0.100-preview.5.22307.18/Microsoft/Microsoft.NET.Build.Extensions/net462
./sdk/7.0.100-preview.5.22307.18/Microsoft/Microsoft.NET.Build.Extensions/net461
./sdk/7.0.100-preview.5.22307.18/Microsoft/Microsoft.NET.Build.Extensions/net471
./sdk/7.0.100-preview.5.22307.18/Sdks/Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web.ProjectSystem/tools/net472

./sdk/7.0.100-preview.5.22307.18/Sdks/Microsoft.NET.Sdk.WindowsDesktop/tools/net472

Is someone using these targets?

In the past OmniSharp used to need them. Maybe that changed now that OmniSharp runs on .NET (Core) instead of mono?

I assume not. I would like to be able to remove them for Linux sourcebuild.
