Debian and its clones Last week we talked about whether or not the Debian project would include Mono in its default GNOME installation. This incited some heavy debate on OSNews, but sadly, the Mono debate also lead to some very nasty blog posts in the Debian community. Time for damage control, Debian project leader Steve McIntyre must've thought.

That still doesn't exactly make Mono a case worthy of special consideration.

It's exactly what makes mono special - because mono is something we're basing future software on. That is, if there are ever any issues with mono, then all the dependent applications will be in trouble too. Much *unlike* wine and samba, which are mere applications.
