Support for Enterprise Library 4.1 connecting to Oracle

I have just read that MS is discontinuing the System.Data.OracleClient driver here. Does Enterprise Library 4.1 for Oracle use this driver and if so does that mean that it won't work or be supported in the future?

Use Enterprise Library 5 and download the last release from ODP.NET.

Then follow this tutorial.

Yes, entlib 4.1, and every other version use System.Data.OracleClient. I don't know I'd the framework team plans to actually remove that code from the platform or just not work on it anymore. For entlib 4.1, there's an open-source Oracle database class that uses Oracle's ODP.NET driver. It's available from http://entlibcontrib.complex.com.
