Do we really need to maintain .NET benchmarks for MySQL Connector/NET when we know it's slow (and [buggy](https://mysqlconnector.net/tutorials/migrating-from-connector-net/#fixed-bugs))? Maybe it'd just be easier to remove those Connector/NET benchmarks, which would...

Ah, I wasn't paying attention when `aspnet-mono-ngx` (using MySql.Data 8.0.17) was removed: https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/commit/fda6b2382c2780b6c6f53699afce27a042564a50

:+1: for moving to .NET 4.5. We did this for our app (that's not using Squirrel) when we realised that due to .NET 4.5 being an in-place upgrade, we'd have...

I got this error with the most recent update I published, too. I didn't investigate any further, but simply pulled all delta packages from my feed (forcing users to download...
