### Description

Some release notes for .NET runtimes use a phrasing that implies that the runtime includes a SDK:

> $MAJOR.$MINOR SDKs that are included in $MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH runtimes

Phrasing used by:
- [9.0.2](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/9.0/9.0.2/9.0.2.md)
- [9.0.3](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/9.0/9.0.3/9.0.3.md)
- [9.0.4](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/9.0/9.0.4/9.0.4.md)
- [8.0.12](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/8.0/8.0.12/8.0.12.md)
- [8.0.13](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/8.0/8.0.13/8.0.13.md)
- [8.0.14](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/8.0/8.0.14/8.0.14.md)
- [8.0.15](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/8.0/8.0.15/8.0.15.md)

[9.0.0](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/9.0/9.0.0/9.0.0.md) and [9.0.1](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/9.0/9.0.1/9.0.1.md) use a different phrasing that is in my opinion better:
> $MAJOR.$MINOR SDKs that include $MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH runtimes

A user asked my why Ubuntu's .NET 9 runtime package did not include the 9.0.203 SDK as mentioned in the release notes.
