While it appears to me our relationship is working well so far, I still
have a few concerns, and this seems an ideal time to make sure that
we're aligned:

- I understand the dotnet LTS period is still only three years; we're up
to fifteen (with ESM Legacy) and I wouldn't be surprised if we'll extend
it further when customers point to a big sack of cash.

  If the dotnet ecosystem runs like Perl, where future versions almost
always support old code with high fidelity and low stress, maybe that's
fine. If the dotnet ecosystem runs like Python, where future versions
are guaranteed to break existing code, such short lifespans might
discourage adoption.

  I don't see the dotnet situation explained on
https://documentation.ubuntu.com/project/search/?q=dotnet&check_keywords=yes&area=default
-- the links on
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dotnet6/+bug/2023531/comments/10
are dead now and the content didn't appear to survive.

- To the best of my knowledge, we don't have any local dotnet experts to
help with triage, backporting, testing, etc. It seems that we've gotten
along alright without so far but as we're only two years after the
dotnet6 MIR conversation, perhaps that's because we haven't actually
been tested yet.

  Is our toolchains team looking to bring on a dotnet expert? Is the
security engineering team looking to bring on a dotnet expert?

Thanks
