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 .
That Microsoft relies on blackmail, bribes and harassment (even against its own people) isn't surprising given the roots of the company and its toxic, deceitful management
OpenSource.org has been dormant for 4 weeks already and OpenSource.net last had a new page 9 months ago (it'll be 9 months tomorrow) [...] That's IBM in a nutshell
