I keep hearing from the Dev-Shops, that ".Net Core" will be replacing "Full .Net" w.r.t. long-term support from Microsoft, and that .Net Projects should be checked for availability of a migration path to .Net Core.

Is this a (future) concern for the F7M, and projects running on it?

Since it's IOT, these things can be expected to be found installed for much longer than 5 years, so continuing long-term (security) support seems important.

Mono, with .NET 4.7.2 actually gives you the .NET Standard 2.0 API surface area + other stuff. Eventually, the Mono and Core Runtimes will be merged and we'll switch over to that. It's all clear as mud; but the point is; we'll continue to be up to date.
