I don't have strong feelings about Mono, but the OP suggests: "The solution seems obvious and easy: don’t make Mono or Mono apps part of the default install. Leave them in the repos for the users who want them..." Sounds much like the current policy of Restricted drivers. So from the POV of the OP "getting rid of mono" means removing it from the default install. A number of people have interpreted it to mean removing it from the repos, but doesn't appear to be what the OP wants, indeed AFAICT noone here has /specifically/ suggested removing Mono from the repos. To put things in perspective, mono requires 15MiB in .deb form and 44MiB installed. Thats about 2% of the space on the CD. If, hypothetically, Ubuntu was prevented from distributing wine, at least we wouldn't have to rebuild 'stable' CD-images. -- John C.
