The issue is not how difficult/easy it is to compile a newer mono. The issue is that to distribute a newer mono there'd be a lot of regression testing to be done to ensure nothing breaks. No-one could be bothered doing that due to lack of time/interest. If you want to run a newer mono on your system you can always follow the guide at: http://www.mono-project.com/Parallel_Mono_Environments so that it does not conflict with your system.
