Runtime support policy for .NET APM
Datadog APM for .NET is built upon dependencies defined in specific versions of the host operating system, .NET runtime, certain .NET libraries, and the Datadog Agent/API. When these versions are no longer supported by their maintainers, Datadog APM for .NET limits its support for these as well.

Datadog APM for .NET practices semantic versioning .
As this relates to downgrading runtime support, it implies:
Major version updates (e.g. 1.0.0
to 2.0.0
) may change support for any runtime from Beta /GA to Maintenance /Legacy /EOL .
Minor version updates (e.g. 1.0.0
to 1.1.0
) will not change support for any runtime.
Patch version updates (e.g. 1.0.0
to 1.0.1
) will not change support for any runtime.
