We'll find that a lot of useful but low profile packages have been removed to make room for the 100's of megabytes used by mono and the mono-based packages that duplicate the functions of existing packages.
Just like with a Wikipedia article, MS is able to dilute a full distro. We can make room for more functionality to the basic installation CD by clearing away mono and its dependent packages .
Microsoft already fired about 5,000-6,000 workers this year by our estimates; that's not counting resignations compelled through pressure (i.e. pushed, did not jump) and contractors
Maybe this is very innocent, but they seem to have taken a solid, stable program from a high-profile Frenchman and looked for ways to marry it with GitHub, i.e. Microsoft/NSA
