Hi

I’ve updated a project I’m working on to _.Net 6.0_. However, running `dotnet paket outdated` there were a lot of old (_FSharp 5_) dependencies. I’ve updated all the direct dependencies to their latest versions but I still get the following list:

```auto
 pwsh  dotnet paket outdated
Paket version 6.2.1+c82f25d6c324024cbd231df154a447a117c2546e

    * System.Windows.Extensions 5.0 -> 6.0.0

```

There seems to still be many outdated dependencies (which seems to be important). Querying the reason for the old versions it seems that it’s because of a few dependencies which have their latest version compiled against _.Net 5_ and this is the dependencies they use.

My questions is:

1. Is tis a problem? Could it lead to incompatible versions in runtime or indeterministic behavior.
2. Can (and _should_) I somehow force using the latest versions of these libraries?

Thanks in advance
