For the 11 milestone, we are considering dropping .NET Framework support from M.D.Sqlite.

• EF and most other major components in the .NET stack (e.g. ASP.NET) have dropped .NET Framework support a long time ago.
• .NET Framework support is holding back development of M.D.Sqlite: it is difficult to support new .NET features (such as DbDataSource), or use new language features to improve the codebase.
• Maintaining .NET Framework support generally imposes a tax, where we'd rather spend our time and effort elsewhere.
• In contrast to some other databases (e.g. SQL Server), the proportion of M.D.SQLite users who are still on .NET Framework is smaller, and not necessarily updating to the latest versions. Npgsql, the PostgreSQL driver, dropped .NET Framework support two years ago in 8.0, and reactions have generally been quite supportive, with few people reporting this caused real issues for them.
• .NET Framework users of M.D.Sqlite would still be able to use version 10.0.

We are looking for feedback from the community on the above proposal.
