Thank you, Anton. I'm now enlightened.
I guess my main request for a port is the ability to watch Netflix. Yes, I know Silverlight is dead, however, this hasn't stopped Netflix from it's continued use. :-) I didn't know how to request a port that plays Netflix video. ;-) Thank you, again, P.

However, Moonlight development is dead, and Silverlight itself seems to be just as dead. (at least some of) Our Linux brethren are using Pipelight, e.g. see here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pipelight. I think porting Pipelight would be more beneficial than reviving Moonlight, as it, at the very least, would provide full Silverlight functionality instead of the subset offered by Moonlight.
