Which is a very real problem if they're still selling it given that..

Just? the reason why you would choose to develop software on a platform is
that it remains a well-supported option

They haven't said they won't get a new team.


How can they possibly get a new team? all their expertise on the product has
now vanished. This is not a drop-in tech for .NET devs on the street to
fill. No Mono team means MonoTouch/MonoDroid will never be properly
supported

Also, their product still works.


Where do we file bugs? and who will resolve them?
