If they are installed on a machine, all .NET versions will need to be uninstalled/removed and you'll need to start again with installing supported .NET SDK versions. |

You mentioned x64 SDKs. What about the .NET 5.0 ARM64 SDK? Is that OK for folks to use? Sorry to nit-pick here, but it makes a real difference in what work we do in servicing. Also if we do decide not to support .NET 5 ARM64 SDK at all we should probably stop publishing it since it won't be supported anywhere.

Not a nit-pick. You are right.
Let's cut this one in the middle, for .NET 5. Proposal:
- Support .NET 5 x64 runtimes.
- Do not support .NET 5 SDKs (either x64 or Arm64).
That enables all scenarios and limits our cost. Good?

I think it makes sense to not support 5.0 ARM64 SDK Side-by-Side with 6.0 ARM64 SDK. But I think we should still publish at least the archive version (zip), so that it can be installed via dotnet-install.ps1 or similar.
