Wishes for +Xenial

[John Moser]

I"d just like to see Jabref work (for LyX) and MonoDevelop actually able
to make an ASP.NET MVC project (install xsp-4, start MonoDevelop, create
a C# ASP.NET MVC project, and it fails; any amount of finegeling only
brings further failure.  Works on Windows; and all the missing
components are Apache licensed!).

Of course those things are Universe.

The latest Docker I'm happy to see coming.

Bitcoin is an exercise in bad economics, media fascination, and pyramid
schemes, but I get that the base users want it.
