ORCAS Beta 2 - System.Numeric is still missing

[Auto]

I am a little bit upset because i intalled the ORCAS Beta 2 and i found that
System.Numeric is still missing.
I think because of the poor performance, compared to Java.

System.Numeric is very interesting.

Please guys, don't let this performance.

It could be poor performance, but it is more likely due to be a fringe case.
By this I mean the devs look at the entire corpus of what they have to
develop and determine how many they can get done within the remaining time.
Items that will impact few people are given lower priority, as are new
features that have less bang.

As interesting as System.Numeric is, it is not as compelling as completing
LINQ, extension methods and extensions to generics. As it has been
introduced during the beta cycle, it will likely crop up again in the next
version.
