[Mono-dev] List of cleanup candidates for Mono 4.0

[Daniel Morgan]

I agree with removing Npgsql from Mono.  Or either convince someone to commit the latest version of Npgsql to mono.  It would have to build with mono's build system though.  Francisco?
 
The main reason it was included in mono was so you could have an out-of-the-box experience with mono connecting to Postgres.

I am actually not sure about this one, is that really the case?
 The latest XamarinStudio/MonoDevelop MVC template installs it from NuGet, so I think it should be fine to remove. It might not work perfectly until the System.Web from referencesource is integrated, but the same applies to the existing (outdated) copy we ship currently. 

This is something I've been working on.  MVC 5.2.2 (the one available on NuGet) just doesn't work at the moment due to this pull https://github.com/mono/mono/pull/1349 being required (and I haven't had chance to fix the things that Miguel wanted).
In addition, the old notes on getting MVC 3 working on mono, said to remove the MS supplied versions of the dlls IIRC, so these would stop working on upgrade (and replacing with the nuget ones for MVC3 probably won't work).
