Why is Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel.Https.NET 4.5.1 agnostic?

Question

I know that Kestrel is just a banner of the development web server, and not a finished product, since it lacks several functions, but there is a package on nuget ( http://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.AspNet.Server .Kestrel.Https / 1.0.0-rc1-final ), which adds HTTPS support to the Kestrel server.

Now that Kestrel can be used against dotnet5.4 (without any dependencies), the Kestrel HTTPS package requires the full .NET 4.5.1 infrastructure.

Is this due to real platform requirements for Windows or just a bug?

RC2 AspNetCore, HTTPS DotNetStandard1.3: http://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Https/1.0.0-rc2-final
