.Net Release Schedule

There has been some confusion created with the release of .Net and .Net Core releases and how their support will be impacted in the near future.  Listed below is a summary from the Microsoft Support Policy:

.NET and .NET Core refer to several technologies including the runtime, ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework Core, and more.
.NET Core and future versions of .NET provide Long Term Support (LTS) releases that get three years of patches and free support.
Patches to releases are compatible, which eliminates risk adversely affecting applications.

For details, see the .NET and .NET Core support policy.
