Microsoft To Deprecate System.Data.OracleClient

I found the following to be an interesting announcement:

System.Data.OracleClient Update

It looks like Microsoft have decided to deprecate System.Data.OracleClient beginning with the .NET 4.0 release.

Of course, I'm more than a little biased when it comes to anything related to Oracle.
