EF6 is no longer being actively developed. We are instead focusing on stability of the codebase, which means we will only make changes to address security issues. See the repo README for more information.

@ajcvickers assume this excludes the new MDS provider or ???

[ajcvickers]

Yes. I just created this issue so I could pin it to the top of the issues page.

[AraHaan]

What about problems that happens that prevents people from using it?

[ErikEJ]

@AraHaan "it" ??

[ajcvickers]

@AraHaan There are paid support options. If the issue is serious enough, then we would still fix it. But the bar is very high.

@ajcvickers Why did you remove "defaultConnectionFactory" from being added to the config file when the EF6 package is installed? This makes all existing EF6 code-first documentation samples fail, since they specifically rely on a database bring created even though there's no connectionString in the app/web config file.
