This is neat as it brings smaller DLL sizes. It does not include self-contained executables that can be shipped, however. You still end up having to ship a directory full of DLLs. I've been wanting self contained executables for a while now. CoreRT (.NET Native) seems to have been put on the backburner, plus sometimes the JIT case is faster.
