There's a long discussion about this, but it turns out that CLaSP relies on MEF metadata that exposes System.Types. This means that MEF must load assemblies in order to produce metadata. Recently, one of our co-hosting endpoints unintentionally pulled in Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Razor.Workspaces by using a protocol type from MS.CA.Razor.Workspaces as generic type argument. Since, CLaSP loads the type, it had to additionally load MS.CA.Razor.Workspaces to satisfy the generic argument.
The fix is easy -- just don't use that protocol type. However, that's not sustainable and this change has started a conversation about potential re-architecture to CLaSP to avoid eagerly loading assemblies.
