As a simple level 1 Mono/Gtk# developer I would support this, I have
nothing that requires support for 1.1. I feel if the move to require 2.0
is holding you back you don't have a choice. Of course I don't have the
level of knowledge that you do but I am willing to support your decision.

The last few months I have been working on support for virtual methods
in GAPI, the code generator of Gtk#. By now many virtual methods lacking
a custom implementation are missing(like CellRenderer.Activate).
As we want to get rid of most of the glue(C code) in the upcoming 2.14
release, my patch doesn't utilize glue to override and invoke virtual
methods. Instead it overrides/invokes these methods directly in the
unmanaged class structure using delegates.
The problem with that approach is that it doesn't work with the
Microsoft .net Framework 1.1; making delegates out of unmanaged function
pointers does not work in that version. This is a limitation that was
fixed in the 2.0 release. However, the patch won't break support with
Mono's 1.1 profile.
That's why I was considering to bump up the .net version requirement to
2.0. What do you think about that? Is there anyone out here who depends
on support for MS .net 1.1?
