Is this considered a "major upgrade" to the framework, itself, or is it
mostly marketing terminology for major add-ons, as in .NET 3.0?
I'm not sure I see your point. There are no significant CLR changes, if
that's what you mean - but it contains LINQ, ADO.NET 3.0 (etc), and
some improvements to the core functionality like dates and times.
Most importantly IMO it contains the appropriate types to support all
of the C# 3 features. (You can use some of them on earlier versions,
but extension methods for example require the ExtensionAttribute of
System.Core.)
