schestowitz"As far as I am concerned, the cartoon in the article says it all, despite protestations to the opposite by the Mono developers. The article does, however, advance reasonably solid practical reasons as to why they would like to discard Mono and I was interested to see that they seemed to imply it was "bloatware".

schestowitz"The mono version supplied with Ubuntu is always out of date, and it can be a drama replacing it with a newer one. If they drop the official canonical support but make it universe, hopefully that would mean users could install a more recent mono. "Nov 06 16:57
