This isn't about MS and what they want. They have created an *open system for others to plug-in 'providers' - postgres and sqlite have it - mysql is just laggin... but, good news for those interested, i too was looking for this and found that the MySql Connector/Net 6.0 will have it... you can check it out here:

I didn't see the link here, but there's a beta .NET Connector for MySql. Click "Development Releases" to download 6.3.2 beta, which has EF4/VS2010 integration:
