I actually think Mono-D must chose one long term support 
MonoDevelop version before being officially endorsed. Currently I 
am not aware of a single distro where it will work out of the box 
with stock MonoDevelop and forcing people to use that blob or 
compile from sources does not really smell good. I know this is 
much stress on Alex but simply don't see other way around.
