There are some components in GNOME that optionally integrate with Mono-based
tools, particularly Beagle. Yelp can depends on 'libbeagle' which provides
an interface to Beagle for C-based applications, but itself does not depend
on Mono at all.
That is a relief. However, this statement is disturbing:
You can remove Mono from modern FLOSS desktop systems without removing
GNOME itself, though you'll miss out on some cool stuff like f-spot,
Beagle, Tomboy and so on.
The more "cool stuff" depends on Mono, the closer we get to a
situation where a Microsoft attack on Mono would put GNOME in a vice.
If these programs are important enough to deserve the term "miss out on",
then I think they should be written in another language.
