Now that the upcoming Mono version includes EF4, are the imminent plans to include it in MonoTouch and Mono for Android?
For Android, the chances that we include it are very high, as Android can run the entire CLR. On iOS the situation is more complicated, as there are various limitations imposed by the iOS kernel that prevent some forms of generics code from running.
Additionally, all of the EF work runs on top of Mono 2.11, while both mobile products are based on a much older codebase, so any upgrade will have to wait until both products are rebased on top of the upcoming Mono 2.12, and that wont happen until December or so.
