Then how about: what we ship right now in F9 is a preview release to this update, having the same Mono throughout our releases is easier to maintain.. this is aside the bugfixes and memory usage/performance enhancements that come with Mono 2.0, all things that will in the end benefit Fedora and our users. Also pushing newer versions of the stack will enable us to support applications more widely across the stack.
Ah! I wasn't aware that that mono-1.9.x was actually a preview of Mono 2.0. Indeed, It looks like it provides all the same stuff and doesn't involve an soname bump, either. That's totally reasonable, then - at least for F9. I've got no objections there. Thanks for correcting me.
