API Compat: the reference assembly is allowed to have more overrides than the implementation

See original GitHub issue

Suppos a reference assembly includes an overide that the implementation doesn’t have. Then, API Compat creates an error like this:

MembersMustExist : Member 'System.IO.FileStream.Read(System.Span<System.Byte>)' does not exist in the implementation but it does exist in the contract.

However, IL was designed to handle cases like this. In fact, we may want to always have all the overrides to bad base calls in C# should we add an overide later.

See this thread for more context.

Also, should we archive dotnet/build tools now?

Yeah, this is an ask to relax a rule in APICompat. Any chance we can have labels to triage this sort of thing @markwilkie?
