Enhancement purpose

Since SK2 will be dropping support for .NET Standard with its V3.0.0 release, it's probably final time to say goodbye to our generic-netf package.

Solution

For people that are still using generic-netf with legit concern:

• If you're using linux x86, sorry, first CPU with 64-bit instructions was released in April 2003, making your architecture obsolete since more than 20 years. You can try some dark magic with x86/Linux progress dotnet/runtime#7335 (comment) or just buy a modern Raspberry Pi and call it a day - Zero 2 W costs $15.

• If you're using Raspberry Pi 0 & 1, sorry, those machines run on ARMv6, which is also obsolete architecture, this time since 2005. More and more software outright dropped support for ARMv6, notable mentions include for example arch linux or node.js. You can buy modern Raspberry Pi instead, cheapest Zero 2 W costs just $15.

Of course, you can stay on latest released generic-netf version, but be advised that it's not going to be supported by ASF team, and you're using it entirely at your own risk. Microsoft has deprecated .NET Framework officially with .NET 5, Mono never got upgraded to the point of running modern .NET (Core) apps, generic-netf was more like a challenge of how long we can support ASF with it, it caused me a lot of headache to support it, and it's about time to say final goodbye to it.

Why currently available solutions are not sufficient?

Can you help us with this enhancement idea?

Yes, I can code the solution myself and send a pull request
