I have a vague recollection of a discussion during 2.11 which went along the lines of "we shouldn't include <language binding X> in the bindings set, because at the moment there are no apps that use it proposed for the desktop". Am I dreaming? If that's an argument that's been used in the past, then we'd be in a chicken & egg situation. One other question - let's suppose that gtk# gets added to the bindings - what additional step is required to "bless" it? Is including an app that depends on it in the desktop enough of a blessing, or is there some ritual with robes and incense that I don't know about? One more (final) question: does including a gtk# app imply depending on Mono? Or are we separating the language from its compiler? If we depend on Mono, what is our possible exposure as a project to patent issues?
