I don't understand this bit:

"In order to allow .NET Framework 4.6.1 to support .NET Standard 2.0, we had to remove all the APIs from .NET Standard that were introduced in .NET Standard 1.5 and 1.6."

Does this mean that STD 2.0 will support .NET 4.6.1 but not 4.6.2 ?

It means that .NET Framework 4.6.1 and all later versions will support .NET Standard 2.0. However, .NET Standard 1.5 & 1.6 will not work on .NET Framework 4.6.1. In other words, we removed the APIs from .NET Standard 2.0 that weren't implemented by .NET Framework 4.6.1.

And some people say this is confusing!

No, it means that .NET 4.6.1 supports .NET Standard 2.0 but not 1.5 or 1.6; .NET 4.6.2 supports .NET Standard 2.0 and 1.5 but not 1.6, and .NET vNext will support all of 1.5, 1.6, and 2.0.

It also means that there are APIs in 1.5 and 1.6 that do not exist in 2.0. Seems to be a combination of deprecated without replacement and things that will be revisited for later 2.x versions. (Which is semver compliant, for what that is worth.)
