My intuition tells me this would be a *very* small yet vocal minority but until that assessment is done, who knows. Maybe people who don't want mono are a very small vocal minority? Then maybe those people (including me) should just accept defeat and shut up.
the truth is, the mono issue is off most users' radar completely. both sides of the issue are small and vocal minorities. but, i tend to err on the side of caution.
i refuse to 'just accept defeat'. mostly because it's more effective to just pack up and pick another distro.

You've made this exact point before and both times I felt like it was a good point. However I realize that my reaction to your comment assumes that the mono advocates are nothing more than a vocal minority. It is always important to quantify the interested by figuring out the total number of interested individuals versus the number specifically advocating for mono's inclusions.
