> We’re asking how much it will cost to build 3-4 major versions with a dozen .NET SDK bands between them each month.

Why so many variants?



Well you've got .NET 8 (LTS), .NET 9 (standard support), .NET 10 (LTS). These are all supported at once.

Then you've got the .NET SDK/aspnet/runtime (on x64/arm32/arm64 linux/mac/windows), and also the various SDK packages themselves.


3**4 = 81 builds - but aren’t all of those independent and thus parallelizable?


No, read the article. It needs to build some "sub" SDKs to build the final 'full' SDK packages. That's the whole point; they want to get to a state where they can do that.
