I agree that this is the right direction.
But .NET Core is not going anywhere, it will just be rebranded and upgraded to .NET 5, as Microsoft said: ".NET Core is the future of .NET".

Also Microsoft has not yet said what's going to be with .NET Standard. I think it should stay, because although .NET 5 will merge nearly all different .NET foundations together, except .NET Framework.. and developers still need a way to target both .NET Framework and .NET 5 in their libraries.. so yeah, until .NET Framework will be completely deprecated Microsoft can not drop the .NET Standard.
