I know it's tangential to the main discussion, but since .NET was called
out by name, I would like to get your thoughts on this. What would you
say are the biggest concerns with the .NET setup?

Here's how I understand the current state. There's a single source
package for each major version of .NET (dotnet6.0, dotnet7.0.). That
source is compiled into the complete .NET SDK+Runtime for each version.
There are no source or binary dependencies between versions. Each
version is built/updated independently. Only the first build for each
major version requires a full bootstrap (using prebuilt binaries), but
that's a one time. Subsequent builds of each .NET major version use the
previous build of that major version of .NET.

With that context, what primary concerns do you think we should be
focusing on?

Thanks,
Omair
