FWIW, the state of mono for windows is really really bad, but it's not great 
for rhel or ubuntu either.  I agree *enormously* that there's a big benefit to 
improving the state of all these.  So FWIW I agree with you.  But I don't have 
time to contribute.

(tangent) The issue with the rhel/ubuntu setup is this:  As long as you build 
from source, it's pretty straightforward and reliable.  But as bugfixes and 
security patches get released, nobody will make a habit of literally building 
every time there's an update, in order to keep their systems up to date.  There 
needs to be officially maintained yum & apt repos - which there are - but 
that's the problem.  The yum & apt repos seem to be in a perpetual state of 
brokenness.  When we ask about it here, the answer is always "just wait a few 
hours or a day and try again," which doesn't seem to work, and doesn't really 
help IT people out there maintain their systems anyway.
