As .NET 7 is a short-term support release and will go out of support a year before .NET 6 does. Therefore, there's a compelling business case for not using .NET 7 for "enterprise" products, ie ones where the customer prefers infrequent product releases. Is there any official guidance from the C# language team, or MS in general, as to whether any C# 11 features are supported for use with .NET 6, or is this all "not supported; use at your own risk" territory? Thanks. |

Using a downlevel version of the runtime is not supported, regardless of the support terms. For those that want LTS, they'll need to wait until the next release of C# that corresponds with an LTS release of the runtime. This is also how Java manages releases. |

Do you know if this is explicitly documented anywhere, or just inferred from comments regarding previous releases? |
