Since major updates to the .NET Frameworks only ship every 3 or so years (more or less), cutting XQuery from this release means that the next window of opportunity for XQuery to find its way into the .NET core framework won't be until around the 2009 timeframe, and possibly never if we, the community of XQuery developers don't make it a priority for them. Sign the Petition to Support XQuery For All!Help support XQuery on the Microsoft .NET 2.0 framework by signing this online petition and explaining to Microsoft why you think it's a mistake to have dumped important client and mid-tier support for XQuery! Explanation of/for Requested FieldsThe general layout of your signature on the petition will follow this pattern, with empty optional fields/lines omitted:
Your Name Name: Required. Your name, as it will appear on the petition. Please show some degree of restraint, and avoid online handles. First initial is OK. Email: Required. This field is used to verify, to a given degree, that you are who you're saying you are (this is important for credibility). We will not add you to any mailing list, share your information with anyone, or publish your email on our website. Job Title: Optional. Company: Optional. MVP Status: Optional. Write in the category and year of your Microsoft MVP status. Mailing Address: Optional. We hope to produce some 'XQuery for All' campaign gear (Bumper Stickers, TShirts, etc) and we'll mail them to you if you want, for free.
