Can "legacy" .NET projects also use the new NuGet 3 features?

The new NuGet version fixes lots of problems (e.g. transitive dependency capabilities, dependency resolution at build time, single packages repository cache, etc.).

However I could only test it with the ASP.NET vNext and UWP projects.

Will these new features also be available for "legacy" projects (e.g. full .NET 4.5/4.6 projects, WPF, etc.)?

As of 8/19/2015, it seems that the new features are not supported for "legacy" projects but may be added later. According to the NuGet documentation:

project.json is mandatory for UWP apps and ASP.NET 5 apps, is optional for PCLs, and currently is not fully supported on other project systems.

and

Starting from Visual Studio 2015, several project types are utilizing this technology, with more to follow in the future.

1.Universal Windows Platform managed apps (UWP).

2.Portable class libraries (PCL).

3.ASP.NET 5 applications.
