Hi Ludovic, Thanks for your reply. So is my understanding correct that the end aim is to remove the Mono-specific FileStream type and replace it with the FileStream class defined in CoreFx (perhaps imported via a nuget package reference) ?
What is the purpose of MonoIO ? And is there an equivalent in CoreFX? Does mono use a fork of the CoreFX code? Or is it imported directly via nuget? I think I want to go ahead with the FileStream project and would like to come up with a detailed plan of action that I can put in my proposal.
