[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 278946] Re: Please update to Mono 2.0

[directhex]

Mono is ineligible for official backporting, as it's considered a "major
framework" and at too high a risk of regression. The same rules prevent
official backports for things like Python or Ruby. It's also hard to
convince the Powers That Be to allow ~5 updated source packages
producing ~100 updated binary packages which might affect the behaviour
of several apps in the default desktop to land in -backports.

I can understand the desire to get ahold of the latest release, and I
can assure you it's being actively worked on in Debianland, but the
absolute key matter is that the *apps* which use the Mono framework are
stable and reliable and working, and there's simply too high a risk of
regression in pulling the rug out from underneath them.
