What can use static assets from RCLs?

[thatnerdyguy]

This page says:
"In ASP.NET Core 3.0 Preview, Razor class libraries aren't compatible with Blazor client-side apps."
and
"In ASP.NET Core 3.0 Preview, Blazor server-side apps can't consume static assets from either a Razor class library (razorclasslib) or a Blazor library (blazorlib)."
but later
"ASP.NET Core allows creating RCLs that include static assets that are available to a consuming app."

But ... if client-side Blazor can't use RCLs and server-side Blazor can't consume static assets from an RCL... what exactly can use them?

Thanks for the note @thatnerdyguy ... we just had a software release for Pre6 two days ago. I need to perform some touch-ups to those remarks. I'll try to take a look tomorrow morning (Saturday) and ping u back.

@danroth27 There are some issues to address ...

• The Component Library topic wasn't fully updated: As @thatnerdyguy calls out here, we should pull the remarks that state RCL can't have static assets.
• blazorlib is still a template: Tea leaves say that it will be around until Pre9 looking at Remove the Blazor Class Library template (aspnet/AspNetCore #10721). btw - The goal of getting client-side on RCL (either tracking on that engineering issue or another one) isn't on the Blazor Roadmap (aspnet/AspNetCore #8177), which doesn't list Pre9.
• Javier called out on the PR (aspnet/AspNetCore.Docs #12722) that RCL is an ASP.NET Core scenario, not just Blazor.
  • Adding the static asset content to the Blazor Component Library topic is fine because this topic is just telling the reader how to use an RCL as a component lib.
  • However, the content wasn't cross-added (via an INCLUDE or just copied into) into the Create reusable UI using the Razor Class Library project in ASP.NET Core topic.
• The Blazor Component Library topic doesn't cross-link to the "Reusable UI RCL" topic. I'll provide it as an additional resource and link the first reference to RCL in the topic.

TL;DR ... I guess I just need to know if the blazorlib template for client-side is still the correct approach until we get to Pre9? I think I have enough info on the rest to get a PR drafted.
