• Official Statement: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/net-framework-4-5-2-4-6-4-6-1-will-reach-end-of-support-on-april-26-2022/
• .NET Framework Lifecycle FAQ: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/faq/dotnet-framework

Using this Issue to track planned changes

• Official Recommendation is to migrate all projects to 4.6.2 this is cut.
  We made a decision to not migrate to 4.6.2. Our SDK already supports NetStandard2.0 which is compatible with NetFramework 4.6.2+. If we try to support both 4.6.2 and NetStandard2.0 we introduce more conflicts for customers.
• Remove these frameworks from all projects
• Remove this framework from all build definitions
• Verify all projects have test coverage for all supported versions of dotnet
  • net4.6.2
  • net4.7.2
  • net4.8.0
  • NetCoreApp3.1
  • Net6.0

Todo

• what to do about projects that are net-framework only?
  Projects that only support a retiring version will not be updated.
