System.Data.OracleClient namespace discontinued?

.net-4.0, oracle, oracleclient

Solution

It will be up to Oracle to keep their ODP.NET up to date.

Problem

I just read this article today about how Microsoft decided to remove the `System.Data.OrcaleClient` namespace from .NET 4.0 library. I used this as my primary tool for working with Oracle databases. When I decide to upgrade my applications from the .NET 2.0 to .NET 4.0, what would bee some alternative options for working with Oracle databases in the .NET 4.0 framework?
