I'm immensely excited by this news - even after some serious work on the
beagle team's part, the current version in Feisty is still quite a lot
larger in terms of resources that anyone would like for a daemon. I do
think it's a shame that one of C#'s flagship products is switching, but
it seems a lot of momentum has left that initial rush towards Mono
anyway.

One small criticism: surely "Ceagle"?
