Microsoft says that drivers requiring approval will no longer be released during and around Windows 10 feature update rollouts and Patch Tuesdays (Monthly Quality and Security updates issued on the second Tuesday of each month). Random driver updates are never a problem, are they?
"Recently when a driver update is released alongside OS updates, it has resulted in a poor experience and significantly impacted end-users," Microsoft stated.
Ya think?

Ignoring the bad grammar (which you expect from uneducated people, so never mind), it ain't just the drivers that have "resulted in a poor experience and significantly impacted end-users".
Note that, for once, the verb "impacted" was used correctly -- it means "crushed", or "squeezed the life out of".

Ongoing .NET Framework support for F/OSS libraries may quickly start evaporating, and this should be a consideration in migration planning. The Framework is falling! The Framework is falling1111oneoneone!

When the portability analyzer[^] returns a bunch of top level problems over classes like System.Web.Mvc.Controller and System.Web.HttpRequest as non-supported and with the recommended changes column empty I can immediately tell that no one as MS gives an ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) about being able to port existing projects forward. Throwing your hands up on System.BadIdea.No.Really.Dont.Use.This or System.Obscure.Telemetry.Says.Only.Five.People.Ever.Used.This is one thing; but classes that're ubiquitous is one of the most widely used types of applications build are something else entirely. 
Since Agile delivery makes hiding spending a large chunk of time doing a major rewrite impossible I'm pretty sure my current project is going to be on 4.x until/unless MS forces the issue by EOLing .net framework entire.

But I thought we could still write MVC apps with .Net Core! Last I checked, MVC still uses controllers.

Yeah, my assumption would be that the two classes I singled out for being facepalmingly called out with no recommendation of how to fix probably would be relatively easy to fix in a port (and have a well documented howto guide if the answer isn't just updating the file to using New.Namespace.Controller). But if you can't give porting advice for some of the most commonly used classes shows that what they've put together for an upgrade advice tool is as you said

I would say that's a problem with the portability analyzer.
System.Web.Mvc.Controller becomes Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Controller
System.Web.HttpRequest becomes System.Net.Http.HttpRequestMessage
Since the portablity analyzer's docs were written on 9/2019 and the api analyzer's docs were written on 4/2019 I suspect the code for both analyzers was "finalized" way before the above were available.
I haven't had any problems converting my .Net Framework web code to .Net core. To be sure, some things had to be reworked, or redesigned, but it's all doable. And in the end it was better, IMNSVHO.
Further, the mantra is to target .Net Standard (which supposedly is an "API surface") if you want to have your code compile once but run on .Net Core, Mono, .Net Framework. Haven't had the need to do that yet, so don't know if it really works or not.

both of those classes appear to have been available since .net core 1.0 several years before the portability analyzer was documented. It being a massive cluster of failure means I can't easily determine what will need non-trivial amounts of work to get ported or estimate how long the conversion will take.
I don't want to get a few days in clear all the low hanging fruit and then discover I have multiple major blockers that will need a few weeks of rewriting first, and either end up with a port branch that lives for months before being a hellish merge or having to deal with a customer frustrated because we're not delivering any new features they want.
It's an educational product, so ideally this would be something done over the summer break. However we've already got one pending change that's going to eat a decent chunk of it to refactor/test/debug changing a major assumption in the initial design that the customer wants changed. Last year we spent most of the summer working on stuff like that; and past experience makes me suspect there'll be a lot more of it coming this year.

Good luck. I agree it's a major fuster-cluck on MS's part.

Barring MS EOLing .net framework or .net framework apps on IIS I'm not expecting to be able to migrate anytime soon.
After about 2 years We're only just adding the last of the features in the legacy rails and flash versions of the site (along with a bunch of new shiny things they wanted more than the last of the legacy system); if I'm lucky another year or two might let us catch up with the presumed backlog of not yet shared with us shiny things on the customers want list.
