I am not concerned with Microsoft posting an Our Incredible Journey (TM) blog post within my lifetime, but duly noted.



Microsoft, too, will pull projects, or just completely rewrite them and make them incompatible.

Applications using .NET Framework with WinForms are not just a dependency update and recompile away from being ported to .NET 6. WinForms got a whole new API and porting complex UI effectively boils down to a rewrite. At least if you can. Microsoft doesn't support third-party controls in the WinForms designer of Visual Studio for .NET 5+, so have fun trying out positions and compiling over and over.


Big companies put projects to rest all of the time. There are even whole sites with countdowns and all.
