You're right, I haven't seen this discussion. I think the downsides to dropping are lower than they used to be - the MD addin is available from the MD addin repository, MG is in NuGet.
I think maintaining an ancient Tao/OpenTK forever is sorta dumb, though. I'm open to spending some time on getting the dep chain updated, but I want a modern MD (5.9 is current) in the archive to work against, which targets Mono 4, so we'd need that.
