Yeah, I know that, Alex has been speaking about it some time ago.
But providing older/newer version of MonoDevelop for specific
distro is not that difficult - only if this version is not going
to change every month or so though.
Given the way they break API it will make sense to stick to
current major branch once it gets relatively stable and just
ignore newer releases. Bleeding edge distros will be dissapointed
but MonoDevelop guys push it far out of the limits of reasonable
bleeding edge.
Or probably someone can come up with some different solution.
What I am convinced about is that _current_ situation is
unacceptable for officially endorces project.
