FWIW my assumption would be that I can build and run an app that's built with any of the currently supported versions (ie if I pin an app to net6 or net7 I should be able to build and run it with the installed tools but not necessarily a net5 app, since that's out of support).

SDKs are designed to be backwards compatible so the policy for quite a few years has been to install the new version and remove the old version and projects are supposed to continue to build. I have not been involved in the tooling around this for a few years so am out of the loop. My aim with this conversation is to get actionable bugs to bring back to the owning team where projects are failing to build, hence my questions. I am not speaking for the team, I'm just trying to get bugs filed so that we fix these issues.

Over the last 6 months I've had to switch sdk pinning on and off with almost regular routine due to various issues with workloads. I find it ironic that Microsoft introduces LTS and then wonders why developers start pinning their projects to the LTS version?

Are you pinning versions via global.json? I just accepted the update and let it run to completion smoothly. A short time later I ran a dotnet command and it said that SDK 6 was needed. I saw in Control Panel that only SDK 7 was installed, so I reinstalled 6 and I was back to normal. Strangely, a colleague did the same thing and didn't see that happen. No pinning anywhere. I'll revisit the pros and cons. Greg
