There is potential value in providing the ability to build the VMR's msbuild tasks against live references from the previous SB artifacts. This makes it easier to update dependencies like NuGet and MSBuild packages. Today those come from SBRP and require a re-bootstrap to get updated in the VMR product build.
This would also allow to consolidate the infrastructure in BinaryToolKit and other projects that accept a custom versions file: https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet/blob/218225c0da3ed9313aecc9cc13e6b81e2f73c8c8/eng/tools/BinaryToolKit/BinaryToolKit.csproj#L10-L12
