The Fedora wiki page and mailing list post the article links to only
talk about them not including Moonlight, which is just a Java applet
like technology built on top of Mono.

There doesn't seem to be any indication that they'll remove Mono or
all the useful applications built with it (e.g. f-spot).  Take the
following post from a Red Hat employee for instance:
    http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.devel/86206

Using the Boycott Novel site as a source of news about Novell products
is not the best idea ...
