> We no longer build or package reference assemblies for the .NET 2.0, .NET 3.5 or .NET 4.0 APIs. We only support now the .NET 4.5 assemblies as well as the mobile-based profiles.

Does that go for the runtime as well? Does this mean I can no longer run a (compiled) .NET 2.0 application on Linux?

No, it should run on the 4.5 profile just fine as backwards compatibility in the .NET APIs is very good.

Please note that this is still a draft and the .NET 2.0/3.5 assemblies will likely reappear as reference assemblies (i.e. containing only method signatures in IL, so you can build against those profiles but not run on them).
