Informix pure .NET Core driver

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We need pure  .NET Core driver. Currently we have to compile our programs with flags for 32 or 64 bit code which is against the idea of .NET Core portability. Also it leads to errors when we sent assemblies to incorrect environment.
Driver on OpenShift platform ("light containers") is a joke - it is heavy (180M) causing long time of deployment.
