The way I see it is we make it easiest for the majority of users. I don't see mono 4.x users being the majority for quite some time yet.
Personally, I get better memory utilization with Mono 2.10.8.1. Newer versions use between 15% to 50% more memory. This raises my cost of running regions. I also run other services besides OpenSimulator on my servers and I don't appreciate unnecessary upgrades which put those services at risk. Those services are also becoming more valuable to me than OpenSimulator, and since I have limited resources available, something will have to give. I doubt I'm the only one with these types of concerns. On Tue, Dec 30, 2014 at 6:40 AM, Shaun T.
