I'd be fine with dropping support for *Desktop* v2.0. We need to support 
Silverlight 3 builds though so that we continue running on Windows Phone 7. 
This essentially means we can't get rid of the inner ring just yet. Do you 
consider supporting IronPython on Windows Phone too? The only work that's 
needed there is to interpret call-sites instead of compiling them. Some of them 
already do so but there are others that don't. Plus you'd need a bit 
refactoring to avoid referring Ref.Emit types in common code paths.

Overall I don't think dropping v2.0 build buys us that much if we need 
Silverlight 3 build anyways. Do you experience problems or excessive amount of 
work supporting v2.0 builds?

Subject: [Ironruby-core] Dropping .NET 2.0 Support for IronRuby

Right now, the plan is for IronPython to drop support for .NET 2.0 and be .NET 
4 only for the 3.0 release (which is probably still a year or more away). Are 
there any similar plans for IronRuby? IP can drop 2.0 support without impacting 
IR at all (I think), but if there plans to drop it from IR as well we can trim 
up the repository somewhat (in particular, the DLR inner ring could be removed 
and live in the Mono tree, or something like that).
