So it's not an option to maintain a common 2.0 and 4.0 codebase. Apparently it *is* possible to maintain a common 3.5 and 4.0 codebase, since that's what you said is your intention. So, are those language features available in 3.5 already? 3.0 too? No matter what, I suggest again that you branch off a version for .Net 2.0, which would be kept alive for bugfixes but no new features. Poll your userbase a few times a year, and when interest in 2.0 support seems to have died off or it's judged to be very stable, stop maintaining it but keep it at the download site "as is". Would that be a good approach?
