[Miguel de Icaza]

Hello!

   Thanks for bringing this topic up, and thanks Dan for the roadmap for
these things.

Ok, added note, removed from distro, flagged.

> - Mono.Data.MySql - I personally deprecated this in favor of ByteFX.Data

Removed from distribution, flagged.

> this is deprecated.

Thanks, removed from distro and flagged.

We can keep the code, but take it out of the build process, it is useful
to have code around for reference sometimes.
