Azure Functions v2 & .NET Framework

We currently have Azure Functions v1 in production using .NET 4.6.1 which rely on 3rd party dlls which we do not have a .NET Core version yet. It could be 1-2 years before we get the 3rd party dlls to .NET Core, if ever. So some key questionsI think everyone will want to know about upgrades are,

Q1 - Are there any plans to have Azure Functions v2 support the regular .NET Framework in the future to make upgrading our production system possible? If so are there any rough dates of when this might be available?

Q2 - If not then how long can we expect Microsoft to support Azure Functions v1? Is there an official mainstream & extended support schedule of dates like other Microsoft products announcing when you are going to turn off Azure Functions v1 ? I have seen this comment from @jeffhollan on Jan 9th saying a 'considerable period of time' but enterprise customers need specifics

The killer issue here being if Microsoft turn off Azure Functions v1 without supporting .NET Framework on Azure Functions v2 there is a good chance we are screwed for our production system right now in the future and need to stop migrating our code base to Azure Functions due to the lack of support.

Start by reading the linked Azure-Functions issue 640 and the discussion here, focusing on the questions about Azure Functions v2 support for .NET Framework and the Azure Functions v1 support schedule. Done would require an official, actionable answer about compatibility or lifecycle dates rather than a code change.
