Why doesn't .NET have a SoftReference as well as a WeakReference, like Java?

Java has several types of references, two of these are Weak and Soft. I know that .NET has Weak references but does it have Soft ones too?

(Soft references are stronger than Weak ones in that they will try to keep an object alive even when no strong references exist. They do release however when memory is tight.)

No, it doesn't.
