While I will leave it to the experts to comment about the current approach, may I suggest that we make a prominent notice in our download page that we have deprecated the 0-8 and 0-10 .NET clients. I know that several individuals have put in some very good effort in the thankless task of propping up these two code bases. But we have to be pragmatic, and understand that we do not have the resources to manage all these code bases.
I would actually go one step ahead and delete the 0-8 and 0-10 client artefacts from our download page to prevent people from using them any further. We should also probably move those code bases out of the main tree into a "boneyard" dir.
